English Ala

• 6 English muffins (fork-cut)
• 2 -3 tomatoes, cut into 12 slices
• pepper, to taste
• 12 slices crispy bacon (use more bacon, if desired and the crispier the better)
• 12 slices American cheese (white or yellow, your preference)

1. Cook bacon strips until 'very crispy' and break each strip in half.
2. Split english muffins in half and toast.
3. (see note).
4. Top each muffin half with a slice of tomato.
5. Sprinkle with pepper (if desired).
6. Place two of the bacon 1/2's on top of each muffin half, in a criss-cross pattern.
7. Top each muffin half with a slice of cheese.
8. Place under broiler (watching carefully) just until cheese begins to melt and ooze over the bacon.
9. Remove from oven and enjoy!
10. Note: My DH prefers to have just a dab of butter spread over the english muffin after toasting.
11. I prefer it sans butter.
