Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the bacon strips in the skillet until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease.
While the bacon cooks, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until fully combined.
Melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until it starts to set. Gently stir and fold the eggs with a spatula until soft and fluffy. Remove the scrambled eggs from heat.
Slice the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.
Spread 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin.
Layer the ingredients on each sandwich: place half of the scrambled eggs on top of the mayonnaise, followed by a slice of cheddar cheese, 2 slices of crispy bacon, and a handful of baby arugula if using.
Top each sandwich with the remaining halves of the English muffins.
Serve warm and enjoy your McPerfect Brunch Egg Sandwich!
