12 english muffins (you can also use mini bagels)
12 pieces of cooked cooled bacon, cut in half or use 12 canadian bacon slices

12 cheese singles (like Kraft)
1/2 cup butter

1. Slice each muffin in half.
2. Lightly butter each side.

Spray a microwave safe mug, beat 1 egg in mug and microwave for 30 seconds or until egg is cooked. Remove the egg in one piece.  Set aside.  Repeat for the remaining eggs. Let cool.
You can also bake the eggs in a greased muffin tin at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.  Let cool.
