Split the English muffin in half and toast both pieces until golden brown.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Place the vegetarian bacon strips in the skillet and cook them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, crack the egg into the skillet.
Sprinkle the egg with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the white is set, but the yolk remains runny, or cook longer if you prefer a fully cooked yolk. Gently flip and cook for another minute if desired.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the egg and let it melt.
Assemble the sandwich by placing the cooked bacon strips on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin.
Place the egg with melted cheese on top of the bacon.
Cover with the other half of the English muffin and serve immediately.
