Homemade English Muffin Breakfast Sandwich

Skip the fast-food drive-thru and make a cost-effective, delicious English muffin breakfast sandwich at home with toasted muffins, fluffy eggs, bacon, and melted cheese.

Ingredients

• 2 English muffins
• 2 eggs
• 4 slices sugar-free bacon
• 2 slices cheddar cheese
• 1 tbsp pickled cucumber relish
• 1 tbsp Tartar sauce

Instructions

1. 1Cook the Eggs in a Metal Mold

   

   Lightly grease the inside of a circular metal mold placed in a hot pan, then crack fresh eggs directly into it to cook alongside your bacon until they reach your desired doneness.

   Tip: Lightly grease the inside of the metal mold before cracking the eggs to ensure they release easily without sticking.
2. 2Scramble Eggs and Fry Bacon

   

   In a hot frying pan, scramble the eggs alongside or underneath the slices of bacon over medium heat, allowing the bacon to render its fat and cook together into a savory layer.

   Tip: Keep the heat at medium so the bacon renders its fat nicely without burning the eggs.
3. 3Pour Egg Over Bacon Strips

   

   Pour the beaten egg mixture in a steady stream directly from a bowl over the arranged bacon strips cooking in the pan, coating them evenly so the egg settles around every strip.

   Tip: Pour in a steady stream to ensure the egg settles underneath and around every strip of bacon.
4. 4Assemble the English Muffin Sandwich

   

   Carefully use a spatula to lift the cooked egg and bacon stack directly onto a warm, toasted half of an English muffin, layering the ingredients evenly for a stable, delicious bite.

   Tip: Toast the English muffins until they are golden brown and maintain a slight chew to provide the best texture contrast against the soft egg and bacon.
5. 5Add Pickled Cucumber Relish

   

   Spoon a generous amount of pickled cucumber relish onto the melted cheese layer of the sandwich to introduce a sweet and tart kick that perfectly cuts through the rich bacon and cheese.

   Tip: The relish provides a classic burger joint flavor profile that cuts through the richness of the cheese and bacon.
