Ingredients
- 2 slices of sandwich bread (or brioche/bagel)
- 2 slices of crispy bacon
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon butter (for toasting the bread)
- 1 teaspoon oil or butter (for frying the egg)
- 1 slice of cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or mustard (optional)
- A pinch of salt and black pepper
- Lettuce or spinach leaves (optional)
- Tomato slices (optional)
Instructions – Step by Step
Step 1: Prepare the Bacon
Place the bacon strips in a cold non-stick skillet and turn the heat to medium.
Let the bacon cook slowly, flipping occasionally until it becomes golden and
crispy. Once done, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess
oil.
Step 2: Fry the Egg
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add a little oil or
butter. Crack the egg into the pan and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and
pepper. Cook until the white is set but the yolk is still soft, about 2–3
minutes. If you like a firmer yolk, cook for an additional minute or flip the
egg for over-easy style.
Step 3: Toast the Bread
Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Toast the bread slices in a hot
skillet or toaster until golden and crisp. If you're using a bagel or English
muffin, toast it to your preference.
Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich
On the bottom slice of toast, spread mayo or mustard if you like. Place a layer
of lettuce or spinach leaves, then add the tomato slices. Top it with crispy
bacon strips, the hot fried egg, and finally the cheese slice. You can let the
heat from the egg slightly melt the cheese or microwave the sandwich for 10–15
seconds to get that melty texture.
Cover with the other toasted bread
slice and gently press it down.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Slice the sandwich in half if you prefer, and enjoy it hot with a cup of
coffee, juice, or a smoothie. It's rich, filling, and packed with flavors that
will fuel your day.
