Ingredients
Scale
Egg and Cheese Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
Bacon
- 2 slices bacon
Bread
- 1 English muffin, toasted
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients including eggs, shredded cheese, bacon, and an English muffin.
- Toast the English Muffin: Split and toast the English muffin to your preferred level of crispiness using a toaster or oven.
- Cook Bacon: Fry the two bacon slices in a pan until crispy. For larger batches, baking bacon on a cookie sheet in the oven is recommended to reduce mess.
- Cook Eggs: Heat a frying pan over medium heat and grease lightly with cooking spray. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 30 seconds for runny yolks or longer for firmer yolks.
- Melt Cheese on Eggs: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and cover the pan with a lid. Allow cheese to melt for about 30 seconds.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place the cheesy eggs on one half of the toasted English muffin, layer with crispy bacon, then cover with the other half of the muffin.
- Freezing Instructions (Optional): To freeze, make extra sandwiches, cool them on a baking sheet for 20 minutes, then wrap individually in foil. Reheat by microwaving or toasting when ready to eat.
Notes
- You can substitute cheddar with any melting cheese you prefer.
- Adjust egg cooking time to achieve desired yolk consistency.
- Cooking bacon in the oven reduces grease splatter and allows batch cooking.
- Freezing the sandwiches makes them perfect for meal prep and busy mornings.
