Main Ingredients

Instructions

Prepare the bacon

In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Pro tip: For even crispier bacon, cook in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes.

Toast the muffins

While the bacon cooks, toast the English muffins until golden brown.

Pro tip: Use the oven or a toaster for even toasting.

Cook the eggs

In the same pan, melt butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the whites are set but yolks remain runny, about 3 minutes.

Pro tip: Use a spatula to gently shape the eggs if needed.

Assemble the sandwich

Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each muffin. Top with a cooked egg, two slices of bacon, and then the muffin top.

Pro tip: For extra flavour, add a slice of tomato or avocado.

Melt the cheese

Return the assembled sandwiches to the pan over low heat, cover with a lid, and warm until the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes.

Pro tip: Covering the pan helps the cheese melt quicker.

Serve

Remove the sandwiches from the pan and serve immediately.

Pro tip: Pair with a fresh fruit salad for a balanced breakfast.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your breakfast sandwich with a side of fresh fruit or a smoothie for a complete morning meal. You can make these sandwiches ahead of time by preparing and refrigerating the components separately, then assembling and reheating when ready to eat. Store any leftover cooked bacon and eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Simply reheat in the microwave or a pan for a quick and easy breakfast.
