Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 4 English muffins, split
- 4 slices of cheese
- 4 slices of bacon or sausage
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by gathering and laying out on a clean work surface.
- Cook bacon or sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy and fully cooked. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- While meat is cooking, split English muffins and lightly toast them in a toaster or under the broiler until golden brown and crisp around the edges.
- In a non-stick skillet, crack eggs individually and cook to desired doneness. For sunny-side up, cook until whites are set but yolks remain runny. For over-easy, flip and cook briefly on the other side.
- Season each egg with salt and pepper immediately after cooking.
- Place a slice of cheese on each warm English muffin bottom to allow slight melting.
- Assemble sandwiches by placing a cooked egg on top of the cheese, then adding a slice of bacon or sausage.
- Top with the other half of the English muffin and serve immediately while warm.
- Optional: Set up a "sandwich bar" with all components separated so each person can customize their breakfast sandwich.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: Organize all ingredients before starting to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
- Timing is Key: Cook bacon/sausage first, then toast muffins, and finally prepare eggs to ensure everything stays warm.
- Cheese Melting Trick: Place cheese on warm muffins immediately after toasting to get a perfect, slightly melted texture.
- Egg Cooking Variation: Offer different egg styles (sunny-side up, over-easy, scrambled) to cater to everyone's preferences.
- Keep It Warm: Use a warming tray or low-temperature oven to keep components hot if not serving immediately.
- Customize Station: Set up a "build-your-own" area with various condiments like hot sauce, ketchup, or fresh herbs for extra personalization.
