Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 Whole Wheat English Muffin
- 1 Egg
- 1 Slice Canadian Bacon
- 10 grams Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.
- Once the pan has heated up, add the olive oil.
- Spray a biscuit cutter that is the same size as your English Muffin with nonstick spray and place into the pan, top side down so that it sits flat in your pan.
- Split the English Muffin in half. Place each half cut side down into the heated pan with olive oil. Then add the Canadian bacon to the pan.
- Next, crack the egg into the center of the biscuit cutter. Cover with a small lid to speed up cooking time and get a perfectly cooked egg.
- After 2 minutes, flip the Canadian bacon and English Muffin.
- Then, using tongs or a pot holder, remove the lid from the egg (caution the lid is hot!). Use the tongs again to lift the biscuit cutter out of the pan, leaving the egg in the pan. Then, flip the egg over with a spatula to cook on the other side
- Place the cheese onto the top of the egg to allow the cheese to melt.
- After 2 more minutes of cooking, now it is time to plate!
- Using a spatula, move the English Muffin to a plate. Place the Canadian bacon on the bottom half of the muffin, then top with the egg and cheese and finally close the sandwich with the top of the muffin.
