Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Lay the bacon in a cold non-stick frying pan and set it over medium heat. Cook, turning once, until crisp, 6-8 min. Drain on paper towels and pour off most of the fat.

  2. 2

    While the bacon cooks, toast the muffins and spread the cut sides lightly with butter.

  3. 3

    Melt the butter in the same pan over medium-low heat. Crack in the eggs side by side and break each yolk with a spatula.

  4. 4

    Season the eggs with salt and pepper and cook until the whites are set, 2-3 min. Flip and cook 30 seconds more, until the yolks are firm.

  5. 5

    Lay a slice of cheddar on each egg, add a splash of water to the pan and cover with a lid until the cheese melts, about 1 min.

  6. 6

    Put 2 slices of bacon on each muffin base, top with an egg and close with the muffin lid. Serve hot.

About breakfast sandwich

A fried egg, melted cheddar, and bacon stacked inside a toasted English muffin, built to eat with one hand.

What cooks argue about

The argument is over the egg: folded or basted so it stays soft inside the sandwich, or hard-cooked into a firm round that will not run when you bite in.
