Bacon, Egg & Cheese on an English Muffin with Alpenrose
What is better than a breakfast sandwich? A warm fluffy egg topped with melty cheese and maybe a little bit of savory bacon all held together by a pillowy English muffin—delicious! Alpenrose may not be a certain fast-food place, but we’ve written up one of our favorite ways to recreate and enjoy this easy and fun breakfast staple just in time for National Egg McMuffin Day.
What You’ll Need…
- 1 egg, Alpenrose organic free-range brown eggs
- 1 slice, Tillamook medium sliced cheddar cheese
- 2 strips, Daily’s cherry applewood smoked bacon
- 1 English muffin, Franz original English muffin, toasted
- 1 tablespoon, Alpenrose salted butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
How to Prepare…
- Spread 1 teaspoon butter on each half of the English muffin and place halves in a 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook, swirling muffin halves and pressing gently to get good contact with pan, until both pieces are well browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a sheet of aluminum foil, split side up.
- Melt remaining 1 teaspoon butter in the now-empty skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Add bacon and cook, turning frequently, until browned and crisp around the edges, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer bacon to lower muffin half.
- Place the lid of a quart-sized, wide-mouthed Mason jar (both the lid and the sealing ring) upside down in the now-empty skillet. (The side the jar screws onto should be facing up.) Spray the inside with nonstick cooking spray and break egg into it. Poke the egg yolk with a fork to break it and season with salt and pepper. Pour 3/4 cup (180ml) water into the skillet, cover, and cook until egg is set, about 2 minutes.
- Using a thin spatula, transfer Mason jar lid to a paper towel–lined plate. Pour excess water out of the skillet and return it to the stovetop with the heat off. Flip Mason jar lid over and gently remove it to release egg. Place egg on top of bacon and top with cheese slice. Close sandwich, wrap in aluminum foil, and return to the now-empty skillet. Let it warm up in the skillet for 2 minutes with the heat off, flipping occasionally. Unwrap and serve immediately.
