Ingredients

2 English muffins
6 rindless unsmoked bacon slices
1 tbsp honey
3 oz canned corn kernels, drained
2 small tomatoes, diced
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper
4 eggs
butter

Method

1. Preheat the broiler on a medium–high setting.
2. Slice the muffins horizontally in half, then lay them cut sides up on a piece of cooking foil on the rack in the broiler pan. Toast until lightly browned, then turn and cook on the other side. Reserve and keep warm.

6. Mix the corn, diced tomatoes, and chopped parsley together in a bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.
7. Fry, poach, or scramble the eggs, as you prefer.

2 thin slices cooked ham, halved mustard (optional)
2 slices hard cheese, such as Cheddar, Gruyere, or Emmental (about 1 oz)
1 egg, hard-cooked and sliced (optional)
