How to Make A Starving Students Bacon Egg Muffin

  1. Cook bacon: In a small frying pan over medium-high heat, cook bacon for 2 minutes per side, or until crispy. Remove bacon from pan and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  2. Fry egg: In the same pan, crack the egg and cook for 1 minute per side, or until the whites are set and the yolk is cooked to your liking.
  3. Toast muffin: While the egg cooks, toast the english muffin halves lightly.
  4. Assemble the muffin: Spread mayonnaise evenly on both halves of the toasted english muffin.
  5. Add egg and bacon: Place the cooked egg and bacon strips on one half of the muffin.
  6. Top and serve: Add ketchup to taste, top with the other muffin half, and enjoy immediately!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
