Griddle Breakfast Sandwich (Print Version)

Crispy bacon, fluffy eggs, and melty cheddar stacked on golden toasted English muffins for a satisfying morning meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 8 slices bacon (or turkey 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 (optional)
08 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, for spreading
09 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat a griddle to medium heat (350°F).
02 - Add bacon strips to the griddle and cook until crispy, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
03 - While bacon cooks, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until fully combined.
04 - Melt 2 tablespoons butter on the griddle. Pour egg mixture onto the griddle and gently scramble until just set but still moist. Divide into 4 equal portions.
05 - Place English muffin halves cut side down on the griddle and toast until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes.
06 - Spread mayonnaise or butter on each muffin half if desired. Place scrambled egg portion on bottom half, top with cheese slice and 2 bacon strips. Cover with top muffin half.
07 - For extra melty cheese, return assembled sandwiches to the griddle, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and heat for 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything cooks on one surface so cleanup is minimal and flavors meld together beautifully
  • The scrambled eggs stay fluffy because they cook at the same temperature as your toast
  • Assembly happens hot off the griddle so cheese melts into every layer instantly
02 -
  • Never scramble eggs on high heat or they will turn rubbery and dry rather than creamy and soft
  • Letting bacon drain on paper towels prevents your sandwich from becoming soggy with grease
  • Room temperature ingredients melt together more seamlessly creating that unified bite experience
03 -
  • Butter the English muffins before toasting for extra flavor and crunch
  • Use a cast iron griddle if possible because the retention heat helps create better crusts on both bread and eggs
