Ingredients for Bacon Egg And Cheese Sandwich Recipe

• 2 slices of bread
• 2 slices of bacon
• 1 egg
• 1-2 slices of cheese
• Butter
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions for Making the Sandwich

Cook the Bacon

Begin by frying bacon until it reaches the preferred level of crispiness. On medium heat, cook the bacon in a skillet for about 5-7 minutes, turning it over halfway through. You can also bake your bacon.

To do this, line a baking sheet with parchment paper spray it with cooking oil, and lay the bacon over it at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes (five longer or five shorter is fine).

When bacon is done cooking, put it on paper towels to drain off any remaining fat. This keeps the bacon crisp and stops the sandwich from being too greasy.

Cook the Egg

While the bacon cooks beat the egg with a fork lightly in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you cooked the bacon in a SAFE for OVEN SKILLET kinda skillet, leave the bacon fat and add some butter or oil over med heat. Add the egg and cook for 2-3 minutes.

You can pick your egg how you like it.

Scrambled egg is one of them, which means you have to constantly fold the egg as it cooks.

If you are frying your egg, cook it until the whites are set and carefully flip for an over-easy or over-medium egg (whichever level of runniness you prefer).

Toast the Bread

It’s up to you whether or not to toast the bread, but a warm sandwich of this kind has to have some crunch. If you like, you can put the bread in a toaster, or instead fry them in the same pan that was used to cook your bacon and eggs (lightly buttered). In this way, they will have that golden crispy finish and extra flavor.

Assemble the Sandwich

Now we want to bring everything together. Place a slice of bread on a plate and pile the cooked egg on it. Place the cheese slices on top of the egg (the heat of the egg will begin melting what little cheese there is).

Now lay the crispy bacon on top of the cheese and lastly put the second slice of bread down to make a sandwich.

For additional flavor, top the bread with some butter or mayo, and add extra hot sauce if you like.

Variations and Add-ons

So, we all know that Bacon, Egg & Cheese are AMAZING on their own BUT everyone likes to customize things. Here are a few ideas:

Avocado: Sliced fresh avocado will add creaminess and healthy fats

Tomato: Add tomato for some juicy freshness and color.

Fresh Greens: We will add some fresh greens (spinach or arugula) to the sandwich for a bit of crunch and nutrition.

Other breads: Use a bagel, English muffin, croissant, or even a tortilla to make these into wraps.

Different Cheeses: Switch up the cheeses to play around with some Swiss, gouda, or pepper jack.

Sauce: Add a tablespoon of ketchup, mustard, even sriracha or garlic aioli in there for an extra-mean bite.

How to Serve Bacon Egg and Cheese Sandwiches

Bacon egg and cheese sandwiches are an easy ingredient to work with, as you can pretty much serve them anyway. On a busy morning, keep it simple and just have the sandwich with your coffee or orange juice for a classic breakfast. It could also be served with some hash browns, a fruit bowl, or an easy salad portion for a complete meal.

When serving this sandwich as brunch or lunch, a light soup or roasted veggie on the side makes an ideal finishing touch. It would make an ideal sandwich to take on a picnic as it is easy to transport and can be eaten just as well cold, (who said sandwiches can’t be hot or cold!

Tips and Tricks

• Make it ahead of time: If you’re short on time in the a.m., cook the bacon and eggs ahead of time then build your sandwich once you’re ready to dig in. You can even go ahead and make several sandwiches, wrap them up in foil, and then heat them back up in the oven or microwave.
• Use turkey bacon or veggie bacon: Make this meal a bit healthier by subbing in turkey bacon to lower the calorie and fat content, or use something like tempeh (if you’re hardcore about your caloric intake) for a meat-free option!
• Add extra protein: If you want an even healthier sandwich, add a second egg or some sliced turkey or ham
