Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Components

  • 6 English muffins
  • 6 eggs
  • 6 slices American cheese
  • 6 slices Canadian bacon

For Cooking

  • Canola or vegetable oil, for frying


Instructions

  1. Toast English Muffins: Slice the English muffins in half horizontally and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet. Broil them in the oven for a few minutes until they are lightly toasted and golden brown.
  2. Cook the Eggs: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with canola or vegetable oil. Fry the eggs according to your preference—sunny side up, over easy, or well done—until the whites are set and yolks cooked as desired.
  3. Prepare Sandwiches: Place one slice of Canadian bacon on each toasted English muffin half. Top the Canadian bacon with a freshly fried egg and a slice of American cheese.
  4. Assemble: Cover each sandwich with the other half of the English muffin to complete your breakfast sandwich.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your hearty breakfast sandwich.
  6. For Meal Prep: Let sandwiches cool for 10-15 minutes, then wrap each in saran wrap or aluminum foil. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. When ready to eat, unwrap and microwave for 20-30 seconds or until warmed through (microwave times may vary).

Notes

  • You can customize the eggs by cooking them your preferred way.
  • Substitute Canadian bacon with ham or turkey bacon if desired.
  • Use whole wheat or multigrain English muffins for a healthier option.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a slice of tomato or a handful of spinach.
  • To prevent sogginess, use foil wrapping when storing and reheat carefully.
