Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the bacon slices to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, crack the eggs into the remaining bacon grease. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    While the eggs are cooking, slice the English muffins in half and toast them in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Spread butter on the toasted English muffins while they are still warm.

  6. 6

    Place 2 slices of crispy bacon on each muffin half, followed by a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the bacon.

  7. 7

    Carefully place a fried egg on top of each muffin half, allowing the yolk to remain intact.

  8. 8

    Sprinkle fresh chives over the egg and cheese, and add an additional pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

  9. 9

    Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious English muffin with bacon and egg!
