Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 6 English muffins
  • 6 eggs
  • 6 slices American cheese
  • 6 slices Canadian bacon

For Cooking

  • Canola or vegetable oil for frying eggs


Instructions

  1. Toast English Muffins: Slice each English muffin in half and place the halves on a baking sheet. Broil them in the oven for a few minutes until they are toasted and golden brown.
  2. Fry Eggs: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and grease it lightly with canola or vegetable oil. Fry the eggs to your preferred doneness—whether sunny side up, over easy, or well done.
  3. Assemble Sandwiches: Place one slice of Canadian bacon on each toasted English muffin half, then top with the fried egg followed by a slice of American cheese.
  4. Close and Serve: Cover each sandwich with the remaining half of the English muffin. Serve immediately while the sandwich is warm and the cheese is melty.
  5. Meal Prep Option: Allow the assembled sandwiches to cool for 10-15 minutes. Wrap each sandwich tightly in saran wrap or aluminum foil and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, unwrap and microwave the sandwich for 20-30 seconds or until warm, adjusting time as needed for your microwave.

Notes

  • Customize the eggs by cooking them to your liking for a perfect breakfast experience.
  • For a healthier option, consider using whole wheat English muffins and low-fat cheese.
  • Ensure sandwiches cool completely before wrapping to avoid sogginess during storage.
  • This sandwich can also be reheated in a toaster oven for a crispier texture.
  • Adding fresh spinach or tomato slices can increase the nutritional value and add flavor.
