Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece English muffin
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 slice Canadian bacon
- 1 slice American cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 for greasing Cooking spray
Instructions
Split the English muffin in half and toast it to your desired level of doneness.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
Place the slice of Canadian bacon in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until heated through, then remove and set aside.
Using the same skillet, grease it lightly again if needed. Break the egg into the skillet, carefully keeping the yolk intact. Season with salt and black pepper.
If you have an egg ring, use it to keep the egg round, similar to the McMuffin style. Cook the egg gently until the white is fully set but the yolk remains slightly runny, about 3-4 minutes. If desired, flip the egg and cook an additional 30 seconds for a fully set yolk.
Butter both halves of the toasted English muffin.
Assemble the sandwich by placing the Canadian bacon on the bottom half of the English muffin, followed by the cooked egg, the slice of American cheese, and finishing with the top half of the muffin.
Allow the sandwich to sit for a minute to let the cheese melt slightly, then serve warm.
