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.
