The ultimate collection of bacon recipes for International Bacon Day
Best bacon 'n' egg breakfast muffins
No more stopping at the drive-thru for your morning breakfast sandwich! Homemade versions mean less sodium, less fat and fewer calories. Take your English muffin, cut in half and toast it 'til you get the desired crispness. Immediately add a slice of American cheese so it begins to melt. In a skillet, fry 2 strips of bacon and an egg at the same time, but use a small round metal cookie cutter to maintain the egg's shape for your muffin. Layer the hot egg on top of the cheese slice followed by the crispy bacon strips folded in half. Season with salt and pepper and a dash or two of hot sauce, if desired.
