Instructions

Preheat and Bake Bacon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy. Remove and drain excess grease on paper towels.
Prepare Egg Mixture: While the bacon bakes, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth and fully combined.
Scramble Eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit undisturbed briefly. Stir gently with a spatula to softly scramble until just cooked, then remove from heat.
Assemble Base: Place toasted English muffin halves on a flat surface. Lay one slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each muffin.
Add Eggs: Divide the scrambled eggs evenly over the cheese on each muffin bottom.
Layer Bacon and Tomatoes: Add crispy bacon slices over the eggs, followed by 2 tomato slices on each sandwich. Add spinach leaves if using.
Add Optional Hot Sauce and Top: Drizzle hot sauce to taste over the fillings, then cover with the top halves of the English muffins to complete the sandwiches.
Serve Warm: Serve the sandwiches immediately while warm for the best experience.

Notes

Using thick-cut bacon ensures crispy yet tender bacon strips.
Softly scrambled eggs keep the sandwich fluffy and moist.
Adding fresh spinach adds a nutritious green crunch.
To avoid soggy muffins, toast them well before assembling.
Adjust seasoning of eggs according to taste preference.
Hot sauce is optional and can be customized for varying spice levels.
