- Note:If you don't like all the flour or corn meal or whatever is on
the outside of the muffin, dust it off now.
- Put the 2 halves of the english muffin into the toaster.
- Set the power to medium / medium-high setting so it gets crispy.
- DO NOT TURN ON THE TOASTER YET!
- Next you will want to grease the inside bottom and sides of the mug.
- Note: I used more margarine than is required in this example
so it would show up well when I took the photograph.
- Now you get your microwave safe plate ready.
- Put 4 or so paper towels down, or 6-7 or so of the half sheets.
- Note: When you microwave bacon, a lot of grease gets
soaked into the paper towels, so the more the better.
- Now you will want to get your bacon and lay them on the paper towels.
- If your plate is not as big as this, you can cut the bacon in half.
- Note: You don't have to use 3 slices, but for the perfect
Bacon and Egg English Breakfast Muffin you do.
- Next you take your remaining paper towels and put them on top.
- If the paper towels stick out off the plate, you can wrap them underneath.
- Now put the plate into the microwave and turn it on high for 3:20,
that should be enough time for the bacon to come out crispy.
- DO NOT TURN ON THE MICROWAVE YET.
- Now unwrap your cheese slice so it is ready to go.
- Note: Don't use real cheese or this will not taste good.. seriously.
- Note: I prefer the regular, but thick slices are ok too.
- Now fold the corners in, and then fold them back to make a crease.
- Rip off the cheese corners along the crease and save them.
- Note: Doing this will ensure that cheese does not stick out
past the muffin making it look funny.
- Get the egg and crack it into the greased mug.
- Note: I use large sized eggs, as they make a good egg layer.
- Note: It does not matter if egg shell is white or brown.
- Now that the egg is in the mug, I like to pop the yoke.
- It is all going to be cooked anyways, so whatever, I do it like that.
- Note: If you wanted to add some fresh pepper, now is the time.
- Note: You do not need to add salt, the bacon will provide that.
- Now put your wax paper over the mug.
- It should look like this picture, with a lot of extra sticking out.
- Wrap the wax paper underneath the mug so it is held tight.
- This is to prevent egg shrapnel from flying out of the mug when 'cooking'.
- Note: Yes, the egg will explode at some points during cooking.
- Poke a small hole into the center of the wax paper.
- This will allow steam to escape while it keeps the egg inside the mug.
- Note: Don't make the hole too big, make it the size of a penny
