Fried Bacon and Egg Sandwich (Homemade Egg McMuffin)
This egg sandwich recipe mimics the Egg McMuffin. The eggs are better over-hard with the yolks broken so you don't get yolk dribbling down your arm while eating.
Ingredients
- 2 English muffins, sliced in half
- 4 strips bacon
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Get your English muffins ready to toast.
- Over medium heat, fry bacon in one layer, turning often until browned and crispy to your taste. Lower the heat if the bacon fat starts to spatter.
- Remove the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Pat the bacon with another sheet of paper towel to remove some of the excess fat.
- Pour most of the remaining fat from the pan into a teacup, leaving most of the brown bits in the pan.
- Wash and dry the pan, and put it back on the heat.
- Pour about a tablespoon of the bacon fat back into the pan.
- Start toasting the English muffins.
- Crack eggs into the pan, add salt and pepper, and fry for about 2 minutes. Break the yolks, spreading them over the whites, and flip the eggs. Fry for another minute.
- Assemble your sandwiches with the English muffins, bacon, and fried eggs. Serve.
