Instructions

  1. Toast the English Muffins
    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly butter the cut sides of the English muffins and toast them until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Eggs
    In the same skillet, melt a little butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your preferred style (fried, scrambled, or even an omelet-style folded egg). Season with salt and pepper. For a classic touch, try cooking the eggs sunny-side up or over-easy for a runny yolk that adds richness to the sandwich.
  3. Prepare the Meat
    While the eggs are cooking, warm your choice of meat in the skillet. If using bacon, cook until crispy. For sausage patties or ham, heat until warmed through and slightly browned.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches
    Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin. Layer the cooked meat on top of the cheese, followed by the egg. If you’re feeling adventurous, add a dash of hot sauce or a slice of tomato for extra flavor. Top with the other half of the English muffin.
  5. Serve and Enjoy
    Serve your English Muffin Breakfast Sandwiches immediately while warm. Pair with a cup of coffee or fresh orange juice for the ultimate breakfast experience.
