- 2 ounces Fontina Fontal cheese, sliced
- 2 slices Nueske’s cherrywood bacon
- 1 English muffin, split
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 large farm-fresh egg
Cook bacon in your preferred method – we cook it in the oven for maximum crispness and minimal greasiness.
Place English muffin split-side down on your skillet or griddle — cook until toasted. Turn and top each half with a slice of cheese. Reduce heat, cover, and cook until cheese is melted. Remove from heat and set aside.
Melt butter in your skillet or griddle; crack egg onto melted butter and cook until whites are set; flip and top egg with a slice of cheese. Cook until it’s done for you (runny or set).
Transfer the fried egg to your muffin, top with bacon and the other half of the muffin. Devour and enjoy!

I know all of the cheese mongers by name at Murray’s and none of the names listed are current cheese mongers at Murray’s Cheese. I am more interested in the Favorites of the mongers who are dealing directly with the cheese in the case.
Hi Bill – good catch! Only one of the Melts is from a monger, Mike. The other people all work at Murray’s and eat cheese from the counter every day. Almost all of them started out on the counter, and some of them now decide what cheese we should carry! So don’t worry, they know their stuff. 🙂 We’ll continue to post recommendations from cheesemongers and other staff regularly.
