Ingredients

Makes 6 breakfast sandwiches

6 English muffins or toast
6 large eggs
6 slices bacon
6 slices cheese (cheddar, American, or Swiss)
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: hot sauce, hash browns, mayo

Galley Method

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes | Total: 25 minutes

Step 1: Prep Your Station

My systematic approach means getting everything ready first. Toast your English muffins and have cheese slices ready. This is assembly-line efficiency at its best.

Step 2: Cook the Bacon

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Arrange bacon slices in a single layer on the baking sheet - don't overlap. For 6 breakfast sandwiches, you'll need 6-8 slices.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until crispy and golden. Thicker bacon may need 15-18 minutes.

Remove and drain on paper towels. Save that rendered bacon fat - pour it into a small container for cooking the eggs!

Step 3: Perfect Fried Eggs

Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease. Crack eggs directly into the pan - don't scramble them!

For sandwich-perfect eggs:

Over-easy: Cook 2-3 minutes, flip gently, cook 1 minute more
Over-medium: Cook 3 minutes, flip, cook 2 minutes
Over-hard: Cook 3 minutes, flip, cook 3 minutes

Key technique: Add cheese slice on top of each egg during the last 30 seconds of cooking.

Wrap completed sandwiches in foil and keep warm.

Customization Station: Set out hot sauce, extra cheese, and mayo so the crew can customize their sandwiches.
