Top with the other half of the English muffin.
- Enjoy your double-decker bacon, egg, and cheese English muffins hot.
Notes
Cooking Notes
Each ingredient cooks separately, so the textures stay distinct before assembling the sandwich. Toasted English muffins hold the layers together while melted cheese binds the eggs and bacon. Assemble the sandwich while everything is still hot so the cheese softens and melts.
