Ingredients
- 1 English muffin or hamburger bun
- 1 Large egg
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 slices Cooked bacon, ham, or sausage patty
- 1 Cheddar or American cheese slice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Non-stick cooking spray or additional butter
Directions
Step 1
Slice your English muffin or hamburger bun in half and toast it lightly in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and apply non-stick cooking spray or a teaspoon of butter.
Step 3
Crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk lightly with a fork. Add salt and pepper to season.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan slightly to spread it evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges set.
Step 5
Gently flip the egg using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked through. Fold the egg into a square to fit the bun and set aside.
Step 6
In the same skillet, heat the cooked bacon, ham, or sausage patty for 1-2 minutes until warm.
Step 7
Place the bottom half of the toasted bun on a plate. Layer it with the folded egg, heated meat, and a slice of cheese.
Step 8
Cover the sandwich with the top half of the bun. If desired, wrap it in foil to allow the cheese to melt, or serve immediately.
Step 9
Enjoy your delicious breakfast on a bun!
