Description
A hearty and delicious breakfast sandwich featuring a perfectly cooked egg, melted cheese, and savory bacon layered inside a toasted English muffin. This easy-to-make sandwich is perfect for a quick morning meal that satisfies your hunger and taste buds.
Ingredients
Bread
- 1 English muffin, split and toasted
Egg
- 1 large egg
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Cheese
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
Meat
- 2 slices bacon
Other
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
- Cook the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Toast the English muffin: Split the English muffin and toast it until golden brown. Set aside.
- Cook the egg: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Crack the egg into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny or to your preferred doneness, about 2-3 minutes.
- Melt the cheese: Place the slice of cheddar cheese on top of the egg in the skillet and let it melt slightly, about 30 seconds.
- Assemble the sandwich: Layer the bacon on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin, then add the cheese-topped egg. Cover with the top half of the muffin. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute bacon with sausage or ham if preferred.
- For a healthier option, use a whole wheat English muffin and turkey bacon.
- To make it vegetarian, omit the bacon and add sautéed spinach or avocado slices.
- Cook the egg to your preference: over-easy, over-hard, or scrambled.
- Add hot sauce or ketchup for extra flavor.
