Sunday Brunch for Father's Day: English Muffins with Cheddar and Bacon
It's Father's Day, right? The best thing as far as I'm concerned about Father's Day is that I get to eat exactly what I want all day. So to start my Father's Day off right, I have my son, Will, and my wife, Vicky, make me one of my all-time favorite sandwiches, cheddar and bacon on a well-toasted English muffin. The recipe that follows is no adaptation or affectation. It's just tangy, crunchy, porky, and seriously delicious.
Sunday Brunch for Father's Day: English Muffins with Cheddar and Bacon
About This Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 strips of good bacon (Oscar Mayer Center Cut is readily available and quite delicious)
- 4 ounces of extra-sharp cheddar cheese (I like Grafton Village 2-year-old cheddar, but Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp will also do the trick)
Procedures
-
1
Toast the English muffins until they are a lovely light brown color
-
2
Fry the bacon the way your dad likes it cooked (I like mine pliant verging on crisp)
-
3
Put enough grated cheese on each half of the English muffin to cover.
-
4
Put a slice of the cooked bacon on top of the cheese on each English muffin half
-
5
Put the English muffins back into the toaster oven, move the indicator on the toaster oven to top brown and wait until the cheese is all melted and bubbly.
