Makes 4 servings4 English Muffins, Split and Toasted (or Brioche Buns, Burger Buns or Turkish Bread Rolls)
8 Slices Short Cut Bacon
4 Large Eggs
4 Slices Cheddar Cheese (or Swiss, Tasty, Colby or American Cheese)
2 Tablespoons Hot Chilli Honey, Plus Extra for Drizzling (or Honey Mixed with Chilli Flakes, Honey Mixed with Hot Sauce, or Maple Syrup with a Pinch of Chilli Flakes)
2 Tablespoons Butter or Olive Oil

1 Large Tomato, Sliced (Optional Extra)

Directions
- Toast the English Muffin halves until lightly golden and crisp. Set aside and keep warm.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden, crispy and caramelised. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel and keep warm.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the Butter or Olive Oil to the pan.
- Crack the eggs into the pan and cook to your preferred doneness. Season lightly with Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper.
- When the eggs are almost cooked, place a slice of cheese over each egg. Cover the pan with a lid for 30–60 seconds, or until the cheese has melted.
- To assemble, place the base halves of the toasted English Muffins onto serving plates. If using the optional Baby Spinach Leaves, Tomato and/or Avocado, layer them onto the muffin bases.
- Top each muffin with 2 slices of crispy bacon, followed by a cheesy fried egg.
- Drizzle each muffin with the Hot Chilli Honey, allowing it to coat the bacon and egg for the perfect balance of sweet heat.
- Finish with the top halves of the English Muffins and drizzle with a little extra Hot Chilli Honey, if desired.
- Serve immediately while warm with Hash Browns, if using, for a delicious Father's Day breakfast or brunch.
