Instructions
-
Timing is Key: Prepare yourself for a delightful culinary adventure, ensuring everything is timed perfectly for optimal enjoyment.
-
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for the crispy English muffin.
-
Prepare the Muffins: Place the English muffins on a cookie sheet and generously butter them, much like you would if you were making toast.
-
Set Aside: Do not place them in the oven yet; they will wait until the bacon is done.
-
Cook the Bacon: Fry the bacon to your desired crispiness, but be sure to keep the bacon grease—this will add flavor to the eggs.
-
Time for the Muffins: Once the bacon is cooked, place the buttered English muffins in the oven.
-
Fry the Eggs: In the reserved bacon grease, fry your sunny-side-up eggs. Be attentive; do not overcook them.
-
Baste the Eggs: Gently scoop some of the sizzling grease over the eggs to ensure they cook evenly on top.
-
Assemble the Sandwich: Once the English muffins are golden and toasted, take one muffin (preferably the bottom) and place a cooked sunny-side-up egg on it.
-
Layer the Bacon and Cheese: Add four crispy slices of bacon atop the egg, followed by a thin slice of cheese to melt gently over the bacon.
-
Top It Off: Carefully place the other half of the English muffin on top to complete your sandwich masterpiece.
-
Serve Carefully: Transfer the sandwich to a plate with care; this is where the fun begins.
-
The Dangerous Moment: Once you take a bite, the yolk will burst, creating a deliciously messy situation perfect for dipping.
-
Enjoy Responsibly: Relish the flavors, but be cautious with the grease—this indulgent sandwich is as delightful as it is dangerous!
Whether you’re in the mood for a guilty pleasure or a hearty breakfast, this Dangerous Breakfast Sandwich is sure to satisfy. Enjoy responsibly!
