Ah yes—the ultimate breakfast classic: bacon, egg, and cheese grilled sandwich. 🥓🍳🧀 Here’s a solid recipe to make it perfectly crispy and melty:
Bacon, Egg & Cheese Grilled Breakfast Sandwich
Ingredients (for 1 sandwich):
- 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 2–3 slices bacon
- 1 large egg
- 1–2 slices cheese (Cheddar, American, or your favorite)
- Butter or mayonnaise for spreading
- Optional: avocado slices, tomato, or hot sauce
Instructions
- Cook the bacon:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Cook the egg:
- In the same skillet (or another), fry the egg sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled—your preference. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the sandwich:
- Butter the outside of the bread slices lightly.
- On the inside, layer: cheese → egg → bacon → optional extras → top slice of bread.
- Grill the sandwich:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Place sandwich in skillet, press lightly with a spatula.
- Cook 2–3 min per side until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Serve:
- Cut in half, serve hot, and enjoy the ultimate melty, savory breakfast delight. 🥪
Pro tip: For extra ooze, cover the skillet with a lid for 30 seconds while grilling—the trapped heat helps melt the cheese perfectly.
I can also give a quick sheet-pan version that makes multiple sandwiches at once for brunch or meal prep. Want that version?
