Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Unsalted butter (1 tablespoon)
  • Bread (your choice) (2 slices)
  • Egg (1 large)
  • Bacon (2 slices)
  • 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 place on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
  2. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, allowing it to foam slightly.
  3. Crack the egg into the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny. For a firmer yolk, cook an additional minute.
  4. While the egg is cooking, toast the slices of bread in a toaster or in another skillet until golden brown.
  5. To assemble the sandwich, place the crispy bacon on one slice of toasted bread.
  6. Carefully transfer the fried egg onto the bacon, allowing the yolk to nestle into the sandwich.
  7. Season with salt and pepper, and add a splash of hot sauce if desired for an extra kick.
  8. Top with the second slice of toasted bread, pressing down gently.
  9. Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately, enjoying the delicious gooeyness of the yolk!
