Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons butter or as needed
  • 1 English muffin split in half
  • 1 slice Canadian bacon
  • 1 large egg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 slice American cheese

Instructions

  • Lightly butter the cut side of each English muffin half. Toast them in a toaster or on a griddle until they are golden brown.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the Canadian bacon for 1 to 3 minutes on each side until warmed and lightly browned.
  • In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low. Lightly spray an egg ring mold inside of the skillet. Crack the egg into the ring, season with salt, and cover. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until done. (If you don't have a mold, you can use the ring of a mason jar lid or simply cook the egg without a mold.)
  • Place the slice of American cheese on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin. Add the cooked egg on top of the cheese, then layer the warmed Canadian bacon.
  • Cap with the top half of the muffin and serve immediately.
