  3. Put your english muffin into the toaster and turn on.
  4. Push your bacon to the side of the pan once cooked. Crack your egg and add your egg to the pan. Use an egg ring if you’re after the classic McDonald’s shape.
  5. Flip the egg once half cooked, and add the cheese slice on top.
  6. Butter your toasted english muffin, add your bacon onto the bottom half, and your egg & cheese on top. Sprinkle with pepper, and add the top of your muffin.
