Ingredients

• 1 English muffin
• 1 Egg
• 2 slices Bacon
• 1 slice Cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Butter
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

1. Split the English muffin in half and lightly spread butter on the cut sides.

Step 2

2. Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Toast the English muffin butter-side down until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes. Set aside.

Step 3

3. In the same skillet, add the bacon slices and cook over medium heat until crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Flip as needed to prevent burning. Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Step 4

4. Wipe out the skillet if needed, then add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil. Crack the egg into the skillet and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the egg to your desired preference: sunny-side up, over-easy, or fully cooked.

Step 5

5. While the egg cooks, place the slice of cheddar cheese on one half of the toasted English muffin so it begins to melt.

Step 6

6. Assemble the muffin: Place the cooked bacon on top of the cheese, add the cooked egg, and top with the second half of the English muffin.

Step 7

7. Serve immediately and enjoy your quick and satisfying bacon egg muffin!
