Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices of bacon
- 1 slice of cheese
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by laying out all components: bread slices, bacon, eggs, cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Place a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy and golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Once cooked, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet with remaining bacon fat, crack the eggs and cook to your preference. For sunny-side up, cook for about 2-3 minutes. For over-easy, flip the egg and cook an additional 30 seconds.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste during cooking.
- While eggs are cooking, lightly toast the bread slices until they reach a golden brown color.
- Place a slice of cheese on one piece of toast, allowing residual heat to slightly melt the cheese.
- Carefully place the cooked egg on top of the cheese-covered toast.
- Add the crispy bacon strips on top of the egg.
- Cover with the second slice of toast to complete the sandwich.
- Cut the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately while ingredients are warm and cheese is melted.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Use thick-cut bacon and fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
- Control Your Bacon Crispiness: Cook bacon to your preferred level of crunchiness, but avoid burning.
- Egg Cooking Technique: For a runny yolk, cook sunny-side up; for a firmer texture, go with over-easy.
- Cheese Melting Hack: Place cheese on warm toast to help it melt slightly before adding the egg.
- Toast Matters: Lightly butter your bread before toasting for extra flavor and golden-brown color.
- Seasoning is Key: Don't skip salt and pepper—they enhance the overall taste of your sandwich.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your sandwich while ingredients are still warm and cheese is melty.
- Optional Variations: Add hot sauce, avocado, or swap cheese types for a personalized touch.
