Here's a simple and delightful breakfast recipe that incorporates Traverse Bay Farms Maple Bacon Jam, making for a unique and savory morning treat. This recipe is designed to be straightforward and uses only five ingredients, ensuring a quick and delicious start to your day.
Ingredients:
- Traverse Bay Farms Maple Bacon Jam
- Fresh eggs
- Cheddar cheese slices
- English muffins
- Butter
Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions:
-
Prep the English Muffins:
- Split the English muffins in half and lightly toast them until they're golden brown. You can use a toaster or a pan over medium heat for this step. Toasting the muffins adds a nice texture and warmth that will contrast well with the creamy and rich flavors of the other ingredients.
-
Cook the Eggs:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. You can use a little butter to ensure the eggs don't stick. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook to your liking. For a classic breakfast sandwich, fried eggs or scrambled eggs work wonderfully. If you're cooking fried eggs and prefer a runny yolk, cook them for about 2-3 minutes on one side and then flip for an additional minute.
-
Assemble the Sandwich:
- Spread a generous layer of the Maple Bacon Jam on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin. The jam will add a sweet and savory flavor that perfectly complements the other ingredients.
- Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the jam. The warmth from the toasted muffin and cooked egg will help melt the cheese slightly, creating a gooey and delicious layer.
- Add the cooked egg on top of the cheese. The egg not only adds a protein punch but also acts as a binder for the sandwich, ensuring every bite is satisfying.
- If you like, spread a thin layer of butter on the top half of the English muffin for extra richness and flavor. This step is optional but recommended for those who love a buttery finish to their breakfast sandwiches.
- Cap the sandwich with the top half of the English muffin.
-
Serve Warm:
- Serve the breakfast sandwich immediately while it's still warm and the cheese is melted. Pair it with your favorite morning beverage for a complete and satisfying breakfast.
Ingredient Tips:
- For an extra crispy texture, you can pan-fry the English muffins in a little butter after slicing them. This step will add a delightful crunch.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Swiss or pepper jack, for a different flavor profile.
- The Maple Bacon Jam is the star ingredient, so don't be shy with it. Its unique combination of sweetness and smokiness elevates the sandwich to a gourmet breakfast experience.
This simple 5-ingredient breakfast sandwich is not only easy to make but also packs a flavor punch, thanks to the unique addition of Traverse Bay Farms Maple Bacon Jam. Enjoy crafting this delicious morning treat!
