Ingredients
- 1 English muffin
- 1 large egg
- 1 slice Canadian bacon
- 1 slice cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 English muffin, 1 large egg, 1 slice of Canadian bacon, 1 slice of cheese (cheddar or your choice), and salt and pepper to taste.
- Split the English muffin in half and place the two halves on a microwave-safe plate, cut side up.
- Place the slice of Canadian bacon on one half of the muffin. If desired, you can microwave the bacon for about 15-20 seconds to warm it slightly before adding the egg.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, crack the large egg and beat it lightly with a fork. Season the egg with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the beaten egg over the Canadian bacon on the muffin half, ensuring it covers the bacon evenly.
- Microwave the muffin with the egg and bacon on high for about 30-45 seconds. Keep an eye on it to prevent the egg from overflowing. The egg should be set but still soft.
- Once the egg is cooked, place the slice of cheese on top of the egg while it is still hot. The cheese will melt slightly from the residual heat.
- Top with the other half of the English muffin to complete your sandwich.
- Let the sandwich cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy your Microwave Egg Canadian Bacon and Cheese Muffin!
Tips
- Use a microwave-safe bowl with slightly high sides to prevent egg overflow
- Watch the egg carefully while cooking - microwave times can vary depending on your appliance
- For a fluffier egg, beat it thoroughly and add a tiny splash of milk
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor
- Let the sandwich rest for a minute after cooking to allow cheese to melt and flavors to meld
- Experiment with different cheese types like pepper jack or Swiss for variety
- If you prefer firmer eggs, microwave in 10-second intervals and check consistency
- Spray your microwave-safe dish lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking
