2
large eggs, lightly beaten
2 sandwich-size English muffins, split
4 thin slices (4-inch squares) Cheddar

3 tablespoons cooked crumbled bacon*

wich Press while assembling panini. Place large
side of English muffin cut side down on work
surface. Top each with 1 slice cheese, cooked

to fit), half the cooked bacon, another slice of
cheese, and the top of the English muffin cut
side up. Place on the preheated Griddler ™ Panini

minutes, until filling is hot, cheese is melted and

paper or bakery paper sandwich bag.
*Cut bacon into ¼ - to ½ -inch pieces, cook in
a skillet until crispy. Drain well. Large amounts
of bacon can be cooked ahead, drained and
refrigerated/frozen to have on hand to prepare
sandwiches and salads. One slice bacon = ap-
proximately 1 tablespoon cooked bacon.
