Ingredients
- 1 English muffin
- 2 slices Bacon
- 1 Large egg
- 1 slice Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Place the bacon slices in the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they are crispy. Once done, remove bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Step 3
While the bacon is cooking, split the English muffin in half and toast each half until golden brown.
Step 4
In the same skillet (remove excess bacon grease, leaving a little for flavor), melt the butter over low heat.
Step 5
Crack the egg into the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolk is your desired doneness. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 6
Place the slice of cheddar cheese on top of the egg and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt, about 1 minute.
Step 7
Assemble the sandwich by layering the crispy bacon slices on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin.
Step 8
Add the egg with melted cheese on top of the bacon.
Step 9
Close the sandwich with the top half of the English muffin.
Step 10
Serve immediately while warm.
