Ingredients
- 1 piece English muffin
- 2 slices Bacon
- 1 large Egg
- 1 slice Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the bacon slices to the skillet and cook until crispy, turning occasionally, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Step 3
While bacon is cooking, split the English muffin in half and toast it until golden brown, either in a toaster or on a skillet.
Step 4
In a separate skillet, preferably nonstick, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
Step 5
Crack the egg into the skillet, taking care not to break the yolk. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Cook the egg until the whites are set and the yolk reaches your desired level of doneness. For a slightly runny yolk, about 2-3 minutes; for a more firm yolk, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 7
Place the cooked egg on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin.
Step 8
Put the slice of cheddar cheese on top of the egg, allowing it to start melting.
Step 9
Place the cooked bacon strips over the cheese.
Step 10
Top with the remaining half of the English muffin to complete the sandwich.
Step 11
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
