Instructions

6 steps

1
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving about 1 tsp of bacon fat in the skillet.

2
Crack the egg into the skillet with the reserved bacon fat. Cook sunny-side up, over-easy, or break the yolk for a hard fry, seasoning with salt and pepper.
3
While the egg cooks, toast the split English muffin until the edges are golden and crispy.
4
Lightly butter the warm toasted English muffin halves.
5
Place the slice of cheese on the bottom half of the muffin. Top immediately with the hot fried egg so the residual heat begins to melt the cheese.
6
Break the crispy bacon slices in half and layer them over the egg. Cap with the top half of the English muffin and serve hot.
