Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • Bacon (4 slices)
  • Egg (1 large)
  • Cheddar cheese (1 slice)
  • Bread (2 slices (your choice: white, whole grain, or sourdough))
  • Butter (1 tablespoon)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • Hot sauce (optional) (to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
  2. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, allowing it to coat the bottom evenly.
  3. Crack the egg into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness (sunny-side up, over-easy, etc.), seasoning with salt and pepper as it cooks.
  4. While the egg is cooking, toast the bread slices in a toaster or in another skillet until golden brown.
  5. Once the egg is cooked, place the slice of cheddar cheese on top of the egg in the skillet, allowing it to melt slightly.
  6. On one slice of toasted bread, layer the crispy bacon followed by the cheesy egg.
  7. If you enjoy a kick, drizzle your favorite hot sauce over the egg before topping with the second slice of toasted bread.
  8. Carefully slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately while warm.
