Griddle Breakfast Sandwich (Printable)

Crispy bacon, fluffy eggs, and melted cheddar stack between toasted English muffins for a hearty morning meal ready in 25 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 8 slices thick-cut bacon

→ Eggs & Dairy

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

→ Breads

06 - 4 English muffins, split in half

→ Condiments & Seasonings

07 - 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
08 - 1 tablespoon softened unsalted butter, for spreading
09 - Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

# How To Make It:

01 - Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat until evenly hot.
02 - Arrange bacon strips on the hot griddle. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side until crispy and rendered. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess grease.
03 - While bacon cooks, crack eggs into a mixing bowl. Add milk and whisk vigorously until yolks and whites are fully combined. Season generously with salt and pepper.
04 - Melt 2 tablespoons butter on the griddle. Pour in the egg mixture and let sit for 10 seconds until edges begin to set. Gently push eggs across the griddle with a spatula, folding curds over themselves until just set but still moist. Divide into 4 equal portions.
05 - Place English muffin halves cut side down on the griddle. Toast for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and lightly crisped.
06 - Spread mayonnaise or softened butter on toasted muffin halves if desired. Layer scrambled eggs on bottom halves, top with cheese slices and 2 strips of bacon. Cover with top muffin halves.
07 - Return assembled sandwiches to the griddle. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and heat for 1 to 2 minutes until cheese is fully melted and sandwiches are warmed through.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything cooks on one surface so you spend less time at the stove and more time eating
  • The English muffins get that perfect crunch only a griddle can deliver
02 -
  • Keep the griddle at medium heat because high heat will burn the bacon before it cooks through
  • Work quickly when assembling so the eggs stay warm and the cheese gets that perfect melt
03 -
  • Press the assembled sandwiches gently with a spatula to help everything meld together
  • Let the cheese start melting before adding the top muffin half so it acts as the glue
