Ingredients
- 6 English muffins whole
- 6 Canadian bacon thin slices
- 6 lices American cheese or cheddar cheese
- 6 medium egg separated
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F.
- Using a 2.5” circle cutter, cut holes from the center of each English muffin.
- Remove muffin holes, slice bottom third of each hole and place back into the bottom of each muffin.
- Transfer muffins to a baking sheet, lined with parchment or a silicone baking mat, and brush each muffin with butter.
- Press a half cheese slice into each muffin well and top with a slice of Canadian bacon, followed by the remaining half slices of cheese (making sure to press into the center so a well remains in the middle of the muffin).
- Carefully pour an egg white into each well and bake for about 15 minutes or until muffins have toasted, cheese has melted and whites have just barely set.
- Remove muffins from oven and top each with an egg yolk.
- Reduce oven temperature to 375˚F and bake English muffins for an additional 5 minutes, so the yolks are still runny (bake for 10 minutes for a solid yolk).
- Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes. Lightly season with salt and pepper and serve.

Notes
- Sandwiches can be partially made ahead of time by cutting out the centers of the English muffins and filling them with ham and cheese. Place onto a baking sheet and tightly wrap in plastic wrap for up to a day. When ready to serve, crack and egg into each muffin, bake and serve.
