Griddle Breakfast Sandwich (Printer-friendly)

Hearty morning sandwich with crispy bacon, fluffy eggs, and melty cheese on toasted English muffins, all cooked on a griddle for perfect texture.

# What You Need:

→ Meats

01 - 8 slices bacon

→ Eggs & Dairy

02 - 4 large eggs
03 - 4 slices cheddar cheese
04 - 2 tablespoons milk
05 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

→ Breads

06 - 4 English muffins, split

→ Vegetables & Condiments

07 - 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
08 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
09 - Salt and black pepper to taste

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat a griddle to medium heat.
02 - Add the bacon strips and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
03 - Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
04 - Melt 2 tablespoons butter on the griddle. Pour the egg mixture onto the griddle and gently scramble until just set. Divide into 4 portions.
05 - Toast English muffin halves, cut side down, on the griddle until golden brown.
06 - Spread mayonnaise or butter on each muffin half if desired. Place a portion of scrambled eggs on the bottom half, top with a slice of cheese and 2 bacon strips. Cover with the top half of the muffin.
07 - For extra melty cheese, return assembled sandwiches to the griddle, cover loosely with foil, and heat for 1-2 minutes.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The combination of hot, buttery English muffins with warm, melty cheese creates these pockets of comfort that somehow taste even better than anything you could order out.
  • Everything cooks on one surface, meaning minimal cleanup and maximum breakfast satisfaction in under 30 minutes.
02 -
  • The griddle temperature matters, too hot and the eggs will seize up, too cool and they will not set properly, so aim for medium heat where the butter sizzles without smoking.
  • Do not over scramble the eggs, pull them off while they still look slightly underdone because residual heat finishes them to perfect fluffiness.
03 -
  • Let the assembled sandwiches rest for about 30 seconds before cutting, which helps everything settle so the fillings do not slide out when you slice them in half.
  • Keep the griddle at medium heat throughout, because high temps will burn the butter and give everything an acrid taste that ruins the whole experience.
