-
4 English muffins or sandwich buns, split

Kitchen Equipment Needed
To bring this breakfast to life, here’s what you’ll need:
-
Blackstone griddle (or another flat-top griddle)
-
Spatula (preferably a long, metal one for flipping and pressing)
-
Ring molds (optional, for perfectly shaped eggs)
-
Tongs (to handle the bacon or sausage)
-
Butter knife (for spreading butter on buns)
-
Cutting board & knife (if adding fresh toppings)
Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
1. Preheat Your Blackstone Griddle
Begin by preheating your Blackstone griddle to medium heat. Give it a few minutes to reach an even temperature—this ensures perfectly cooked components and crispy edges.
2. Cook the Meat
Place the bacon strips or sausage patties onto the griddle. Cook until the bacon is crispy or the sausage is browned and fully cooked through. Remove and set aside, keeping them warm under foil if desired.
3. Crack and Cook the Eggs
Crack your eggs directly onto the griddle. For a professional touch, use ring molds to get that picture-perfect sandwich shape. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook to your preferred doneness—whether that’s sunny-side-up, over-easy, or fully cooked through.
4. Toast the Buns
Butter the split English muffins or sandwich buns and place them cut-side down on the griddle. Toast until golden brown, which should take 2–3 minutes.
5. Melt the Cheese
Just before removing the eggs, lay a slice of cheddar or American cheese on each one and let it melt slightly. The residual heat will finish the job.
6. Assemble the Sandwiches
Start with the bottom bun, then layer on the cheesy egg, your choice of bacon or sausage, and any of your desired toppings—avocado slices, tomato, or a splash of hot sauce. Finish with the top bun and serve hot.
Variations & Recipe Swaps
Don’t be afraid to get creative with this base recipe! Here are a few variations to switch things up:
-
Meat-Free Version: Swap bacon or sausage for grilled mushrooms or plant-based breakfast patties.
-
Bread Options: Substitute bagels, croissants, or biscuits for the buns.
-
Cheese Swap: Try pepper jack, gouda, or Swiss cheese for a different flavor profile.
-
Add Greens: A handful of arugula or spinach adds freshness and color.
-
Spicy Twist: Use sriracha mayo or jalapeño slices for a kick of heat.
Tips & Tricks for the Best Results
-
Use a ring mold if you want the eggs to be sandwich-ready and neatly shaped.
-
Don’t over-butter the griddle when toasting your buns—too much will lead to sogginess.
-
Make a batch and wrap in foil to keep warm if serving a crowd.
-
Prep ahead by cooking bacon or sausage the night before and storing in the fridge.
Storing and Reheating Leftovers

Refrigerator: Store assembled sandwiches in an airtight container or wrap individually in foil for up to 3 days.

Freezer: Wrap sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 1 month.
