• 12 slices bacon or sausage            
• 12 hard boiled eggs                           
• 2 c. grated cheddar cheese
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 heap mustard
  
• 1 c. mayonnaise
  
• 6 English muffins

 
Fry bacon or sausage, then chop it up. Peel hard boiled eggs and chop them as well. Mix eggs and meat with remaining ingredients in a bowl. Add more of whatever you think it needs. Preheat oven broiler to low. Spread a good amount of spread on the English muffins (split), setting them on a cookie sheet. Place them on the lower rack of the oven and broil them for 3-4 minutes, being careful to not burn them. The topping should be hot, and cheese melted. Enjoy! (Note: the spread can be made a day ahead of time if desired. Serves 12.)
 
Variations:
   ~Stir finely diced onion and/or pepper into mixture.
  ~Use Pepper jack cheese instead of Cheddar for a little spice.
  ~Toast a bagel half instead of an English muffin.    
  ~Spread on sandwich bread and add lettuce and tomato for a twist on egg salad.
