Ingredients (per sandwich)
-
2 slices of bread, English muffin, bagel, or croissant
-
2 slices bacon
-
1 egg
-
1 slice cheddar, American, or your favorite cheese
-
1 tsp butter or oil
-
Optional: avocado, tomato, hot sauce, or spinach
Instructions
-
Cook the Bacon
-
In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy (about 4–5 minutes per side).
-
Remove and drain on paper towels. Keep a little bacon fat in the pan for extra flavor, if desired.
-
-
Cook the Egg
-
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
-
Crack the egg and cook until yolk is set the way you like (sunny side up, over-easy, or scrambled).
-
Season with salt and pepper.
-
-
Toast the Bread
-
Toast your bread, English muffin, bagel, or croissant lightly.
-
-
Assemble the Sandwich
-
Place the cheese on the hot egg so it melts slightly.
-
Layer the bacon on top of the cheese and egg.
-
Add optional toppings like avocado slices, tomato, or greens.
-
Close the sandwich and press lightly.
-
-
Serve
-
Enjoy hot and fresh! Pair with fruit, coffee, or a smoothie for a full breakfast.
-
💡 Tips:
-
For a quicker version, scramble the egg and melt the cheese directly in the skillet with the egg.
-
Make-ahead hack: Cook bacon and eggs in bulk, then assemble sandwiches in the morning and heat in a microwave or toaster oven.
-
Want it extra indulgent? Spread a thin layer of mayo or sriracha on the bread.
If you want, I can also give a healthier, lower-calorie version that’s just as tasty but lighter for everyday breakfasts.
