Crispy bacon, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted cheddar stacked between toasted sourdough bread with fresh tomato and lettuce for a hearty, satisfying breakfast sandwich.
Ingredients
- 6 slice bacon
- 4 whole eggs
- 2 slice cheddar cheese
- 4 slice sourdough bread
- 2 lettuce
- 2 slice tomato, sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
Steps
- Arrange bacon slices in a large skillet in a single layer without overlapping.
- Cook bacon over medium heat for 8 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and browned.
- Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled slightly, break each slice in half.
- Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease from the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Crack eggs into a bowl, add salt and black pepper, and whisk until well combined.
- Pour whisked eggs into the same skillet with the bacon grease.
- Cook eggs for 3 minutes, stirring gently every 30 seconds with a spatula, until soft curds form and eggs are just set but still moist.
- While eggs cook, toast sourdough bread slices until golden and crispy.
- Spread mayonnaise on the inside of all four toasted bread slices.
- Layer lettuce and tomato on the bottom two slices of bread.
- Top lettuce and tomato with half the scrambled eggs on each slice, then add 3 bacon pieces per sandwich.
- Top each sandwich with a slice of cheddar cheese while eggs are still warm, allowing it to soften slightly.
- Close each sandwich with the remaining toasted bread slices, press gently, and cut diagonally. Serve immediately.
