Bacon, egg and cheese with dressed arugula makes for a perfectly balanced breakfast sandwich.

Ingredients

  • 2 Large Eggs, beaten
  • 1 pat of Butter, plus more for buttering the muffin
  • 2 slices American Cheese
  • 2 strips Bacon
  • 1 handful Arugula
  • Drizzle of Olive Oil
  • Splash of Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Pinch of Kosher Salt and Cracked Pepper
  • 1 English Muffin, toasted and buttered

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2

Bake bacon on a cooling rack set in a sheet pan for 15 minutes, or until desired doneness is achieved.

3

While the bacon is baking, dress a handful of arugula with a drizzle of olive oil and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Season with a good pinch of Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. Toss it well and set aside.

4

Beat the eggs in a large measuring cup and melt butter in a nonstick pan over very low heat.

5

Pour in the beaten eggs and begin stirring them.

6

Keep stirring as the eggs begin to coagulate, coax the eggs toward the center of the pan and create a round shape.

7

Once the bottom of the eggs are mostly firm and the top is still loose, use a spatula to flip the eggs.

8

Immediately add the cheese slices, cover and turn off the heat.

9

Lay the egg and cheese on one half of the muffin, then the bacon, then the arugula, top with the other half of the muffin.
