Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of bacon
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices of cheese (cheddar or American)
- 2 slices of bread (sourdough or whole grain)
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: hot sauce or ketchup for serving
Instructions
- Place a large skillet over medium heat. Lay the bacon strips in a single layer, cooking for 4-5 minutes until crispy. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet (or wipe it clean and add butter), crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet and let sit for a few seconds. Gently stir with a spatula, pushing from the edges to the center. Cook for 2-3 minutes until just set but slightly runny.
- Place a slice of cheese on top of the eggs in the skillet. Cover with a lid for about 1 minute until the cheese melts.
- Toast the bread in a toaster or in another skillet with a little butter, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Start with one slice of toasted bread, layer with crispy bacon, spoon cheesy scrambled eggs on top, and finish with the second slice of toasted bread. Press gently to hold everything together.
- Optionally drizzle hot sauce or ketchup on the inside of the top slice before closing the sandwich. Cut in half diagonally and serve with fresh fruit or crispy hash browns.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider sautéing vegetables like spinach or bell peppers to mix with the eggs.
- Substitute turkey bacon for a healthier option, and use whole grain bread for added fiber.
- Experiment with different cheeses for varied flavors, such as pepper jack or cream cheese.
- This recipe can easily be scaled up for larger servings.
