MURRAY'S BREAKFAST MELT

Steps:

• Place cheese in freezer until well chilled, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place bacon on a griddle over medium-high heat; cook until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Remove cheese from freezer, cut two slices, and grate remaining cheese on the largest holes of a box grater; set aside.
• Place English muffin split-side down in skillet; cook until toasted. Turn and top each half with a slice of cheese. Reduce heat and cook until cheese is melted. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Melt butter on griddle; crack egg onto melted and fry until whites are set; turn and top egg with grated cheese; continue cooking until yolk has reached desired degree of doneness.
• Carefully transfer egg to large muffin half. Top egg with bacon and sandwich with remaining muffin half; serve immediately.

MURRAY'S FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• SUGARBUTTER: Using the tines of a fork, mix butter and sugar in a small bowl. Do not beat (you should feel the granules of sugar in the butter). Set aside.
• Beat eggs and milk in a bowl large enough to fit a slice of bread. Heat a small pat of butter in a large pan or griddle over medium heat.
• When butter is melted in pan, dip 1 slice of bread into the egg mixture, flip over, then hold it over the bowl for a second or so to let excess egg drip off. Place into pan and sprinkle with a light dusting of cinnamon. Repeat with other slices (so as to fit on griddle or in pan, may need to do in batches).
• Cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip toast and cook remaining side to golden (sprinkle with more cinnamon if desired).
• Place one toast each onto individual plates. Spread sugar-butter over one side (like buttering toast). Place another slice on top and repeat. Continue until you reach the desired stack amount and serve. I love to eat the crust off first, then dive into the center of soft french toast smothered in sugar-butter to divulge into at the end. A mouth-watering experience!
