Step 1
Cook the 2 bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 2
Split the English muffin and toast it in a toaster or under the broiler until golden, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Melt the 1 tbsp butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Crack the 1 egg into the skillet and cook until the white is set and the yolk is cooked to your liking, about 3 minutes for a runny yolk.
Step 4
Place the 1 slice of cheese on the bottom half of the toasted muffin, top with the egg and bacon, then close with the top half. Serve hot.
