Ingredients
- 1 English muffin
- 1 egg
- 1 slice cheese
- 1 slice cooked bacon or sausage patty
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Split the English muffin in half and lightly toast both sides until golden brown and crispy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with cooking spray or add a small amount of butter.
- Crack the egg into the skillet and break the yolk if desired. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cook the egg for approximately 2-3 minutes, flipping once, until the white is set and the yolk reaches your preferred doneness.
- If using bacon, warm the pre-cooked bacon slice in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. If using a sausage patty, heat until warm and slightly crispy.
- Place the slice of cheese on top of the cooked egg during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt slightly.
- Assemble the sandwich by placing the cooked egg with melted cheese on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin.
- Layer the bacon or sausage patty on top of the egg.
- Close the sandwich with the top half of the English muffin and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Use fresh eggs, a good quality English muffin, and premium bacon or sausage for the best flavor.
- Egg Cooking Hack: For perfectly cooked eggs, use a non-stick skillet and keep the heat at medium. This prevents burning and ensures a creamy texture.
- Cheese Melting Secret: Place the cheese on the hot egg during the last minute of cooking to get that irresistible, slightly melted consistency.
- Toasting Tip: Lightly butter the English muffin before toasting for extra crispiness and rich flavor.
- Customize Your Sandwich: Experiment with different cheese types, add avocado, or try hot sauce for your personal twist.
- Meal Prep Friendly: You can prepare multiple sandwiches in advance and quickly reheat them for busy mornings.
- Temperature Matters: Serve immediately while warm to enjoy the optimal texture and melted cheese experience.
