Instructions
Cook the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Toast the bread: Lightly butter both slices of bread and toast them in a skillet or toaster until golden brown.
Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs until fluffy.
Assemble the sandwich: Place the cheese slice on one toasted bread slice. Top with scrambled eggs and bacon. Cover with the second bread slice.
Optional melt: For a melty cheese, place the assembled sandwich back in the skillet for 1-2 minutes until the cheese softens.
Serve immediately: Cut the sandwich in half if desired and enjoy while hot.
Chef's Tips
- Bread Choice: Use a sturdy bread like sourdough or ciabatta to hold up to the fillings.
- Egg Variations: Try frying the eggs sunny-side-up for a runny yolk.
- Cheese Options: Swap cheddar for Swiss, pepper jack, or American cheese.
- Extra Flavor: Add a slice of tomato or avocado for freshness.
- Make Ahead: Cook bacon and eggs in advance for quicker assembly in the morning.
