Ingredients
Scale
- 2 whole grain English muffins
- 2 large eggs
- 4 slices of bacon (or ham)
- 2 slices of cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Slice the English muffins in half and butter each half generously. Place them on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
- While the muffins toast, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, crack the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are firm but yolks remain runny (3-4 minutes). Flip if desired for a firmer yolk.
- Assemble by placing cheese on each muffin half, followed by bacon and topped with the fried egg.
- Serve warm with optional hot sauce or fresh fruit.
