Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices bread (sourdough or brioche recommended)
- 3 slices bacon
- 1 large egg
- 1 ounce sharp cheddar cheese, sliced or shredded
- 1 teaspoon butter or oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon and set it on a paper towel-lined plate. Keep about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet, or add butter if needed.
- Heat the skillet over medium-low heat. Crack the egg into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
- Fry the egg until the whites are set and the yolk reaches your desired doneness (runny or firm).
- While the egg cooks, lightly toast the bread slices if desired.
- Place the cheddar cheese on one slice of bread. Place the cooked bacon on top of the cheese.
- Carefully slide the fried egg onto the bacon layer.
- Top with the second slice of bread. Slice in half and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a runnier yolk, cook the egg for about 2 minutes on medium-low heat.
- If you prefer melted cheese, place the cheese on the bread while the bacon is still hot, or briefly place the assembled sandwich under a broiler for 30 seconds.
- Use mayonnaise or hot sauce on the bread slices for extra flavor.
