Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece English muffin
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 slice Canadian bacon
- 1 slice Cheddar cheese (or American cheese)
- 1 teaspoon Butter or cooking spray
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Split the English muffin in half and toast one half to your liking. Set aside.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter or cooking spray to lightly coat the surface.
Place the slice of Canadian bacon in the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes per side until warmed through and lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and crack the egg directly into the skillet. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the egg cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the white is set and the yolk reaches your desired level of doneness (e.g., runny or fully cooked).
While the egg is cooking, place the slice of cheese over the toasted English muffin half. If needed, gently warm it in the toaster or under a broiler so the cheese begins to melt.
Once the egg is ready, assemble the open-faced sandwich by layering the Canadian bacon on top of the cheese-covered muffin, followed by the cooked egg.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and visual appeal.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Open-Faced Egg McMuffin!
