Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Components
- 6 English muffins
- 1 tablespoon butter (plus more for buttering the English muffins)
- 6 slices Canadian bacon
- 6 slices American cheese
- 6 eggs
Instructions
- Toast the muffins: Toast the English muffins to a golden brown, then spread butter over them to your liking for added flavor and moisture.
- Heat butter in skillet: Warm 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat, preparing the pan for cooking the bacon and eggs.
- Cook Canadian bacon: Place the Canadian bacon slices in the skillet and cook them for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are lightly browned and heated through. Remove and set aside on a plate.
- Prepare the eggs: Put a mason jar lid or metal ring mold in the center of the skillet and spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Crack one egg into the ring. Use a fork to gently break the yolk for even cooking. Season with salt to taste.
- Steam the eggs: Pour 1/4 cup of water around the ring in the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook the egg for about 1 minute until set and cooked through.
- Assemble with cheese: Place slices of American cheese on the bottom halves of the buttered English muffins. Carefully remove the cooked egg from the ring and place it on top of the cheese.
- Finish assembly: Add a slice of cooked Canadian bacon on top of the egg, then cover with the top half of the English muffin to complete your sandwich.
Notes
- You can substitute Canadian bacon with regular bacon or sausage patties if desired.
- Use a nonstick skillet for easier egg cooking and cleanup.
- Breaking the yolk helps the egg cook more evenly and makes the sandwich easier to eat.
- For a spicier twist, add a dash of hot sauce or a slice of tomato inside the sandwich.
