Ingredients
  

  • 2 English muffins split
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 slices Canadian bacon
  • 2 slices American cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Egg ring

  1. Toast the English muffins and butter them. Warm the Canadian bacon in a skillet.
  2. Grease an egg ring in the skillet, crack in an egg, break the yolk, and cook covered until set.
  3. Layer cheese, egg, and Canadian bacon on the muffin bottom, the warmth melting the cheese.

Notes

An egg ring (or a clean tuna can with both ends removed) gives the signature round shape.
