Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 slices of cheese
- 2 slices of bacon
- 2 eggs
- Butter for grilling
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by laying out the bread slices, cheese, bacon, and eggs on a clean workspace.
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet, crack the eggs and cook them sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper. Remove eggs and set aside.
- Butter one side of each bread slice generously, ensuring complete coverage for even grilling.
- Place one slice of bread butter-side down in a clean skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
- Layer the cheese slice on the bread, then add the crispy bacon strips, and carefully place the cooked egg on top.
- Cover with the second slice of bread, butter-side facing up.
- Grill the sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese melts completely.
- Remove from heat, let cool for 1-2 minutes, then slice diagonally and serve hot.
Tips
- Choose the Right Bread: For the best flavor and texture, opt for a hearty bread like sourdough or whole grain that can hold up to the fillings and grilling.
- Crisp the Bacon: Ensure your bacon is cooked until crispy for that perfect crunch in every bite. Don’t rush this step; the texture makes a big difference!
- Egg Cooking Techniques: If you prefer your eggs cooked differently, feel free to scramble them or make them over-easy. Just make sure they’re not too runny to avoid soggy bread.
- Butter Generously: Don’t skimp on the butter! A generous coating on the bread will create a beautifully golden crust and enhance the flavor.
- Low and Slow: Cooking the sandwich on medium-low heat allows the cheese to melt thoroughly without burning the bread. Patience is key!
- Add Extra Flavor: Consider adding a sprinkle of your favorite herbs or spices to the eggs or cheese for an extra flavor boost. A dash of hot sauce can also spice things up!
- Serve Immediately: This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh off the skillet while the cheese is still gooey and the bread is warm and crispy.
