Ingredients
4English muffins, split in half
4large eggs
4slicesCanadian bacon
4slicescheddar or American cheese
1-2Tablespoonsbutter
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Cook
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Canadian bacon slices until they are heated through and slightly browned. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease. Set aside.
Using the same skillet or a toaster, toast the English muffin halves until they are golden brown and crispy. Spread with butter and set aside.
Eggs
In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 Tablespoon butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, ensuring they are spaced apart. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook the eggs to your desired level of doneness (over-easy or over-hard works well for this sandwich), flipping half way through cooking.
Assemble
Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin. Place a cooked egg on each cheese slice. Next, place the Canadian bacon on top. Place back in the pan for a minute to melt cheese over low heat. Add any desired toppings.
Top each sandwich with the other half of the English muffin. Serve while warm.
