Split the English muffin in half and toast it until lightly golden.
While the muffin is toasting, heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the vegetarian bacon slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until crisp. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, crack the egg into the skillet.
Season the egg with salt and black pepper, and cook to your desired preference (sunny-side-up, over-easy, etc.). Remove from skillet.
Place the cheese slice on one half of the toasted English muffin.
Layer the cooked vegetarian bacon slices over the cheese.
Top with the cooked egg.
Finish by placing the second half of the English muffin on top, creating a sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade vegetarian bacon and egg McMuffin.
