15 min2 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 piece English muffins · split in half
  • 4 piece large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper · freshly ground
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 slice bacon
  • 2 slice American cheese

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the bacon

    Place the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, flipping once, until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and leave the bacon grease in the skillet.

  2. 2

    Toast the muffins

    While the bacon cooks, toast the English muffin halves until golden brown. Spread a little butter on the cut sides of the muffins if desired.

  3. 3

    Scramble and fold the eggs

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined. Melt the remaining butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture, letting it set slightly, then use a spatula to fold the edges toward the center until it forms a thick, folded rectangle.

  4. 4

    Assemble the sandwiches

    Divide the folded egg in half. Place one piece of egg on the bottom half of each toasted muffin, top with a slice of American cheese and two slices of bacon, then cover with the top muffin half.
