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.

Yield 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 2 English muffins, sliced in half
  • 4 strips bacon
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  1. 1
    Get your English muffins ready to toast.
  2. 2
    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.
  3. 3
    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.
  4. 4
    Pour most of the remaining fat from the pan into a teacup, leaving most of the brown bits in the pan.
  5. 5
    Wash and dry the pan, and put it back on the heat.
  6. 6
    Pour about a tablespoon of the bacon fat back into the pan.
  7. 7
    Start toasting the English muffins.
  8. 8
    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.
  9. 9
    Assemble your sandwiches with the English muffins, bacon, and fried eggs. Serve.
