  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 1 sandwich

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices of sturdy white bread or your preferred bread
  • 4 slices of crispy bacon
  • 2 large eggs
  • Cheddar cheese slices
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Pickles or lettuce leaves for garnish
  • Butter or cooking spray for toasting

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon slices in a skillet until crispy, then set aside on paper towels to drain.
  2. In the same skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Lightly toast the bread slices, either in a toaster or on a skillet with a little butter.
  4. Mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a flavorful spread.
  5. Spread the mayo-mustard mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice.
  6. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on one bread slice, layer with the crispy bacon, and top with the fried egg.
  7. Garnish with pickles or lettuce if desired. Place the other bread slice on top to complete the sandwich.
  8. Press lightly to ensure everything holds together. For a warm, melty sandwich, grill in a sandwich press or in a skillet until cheese melts and bread is golden.

Notes

  • For an extra crunch, toast the bread thoroughly before assembling.
  • Feel free to customize with additional toppings like avocado or tomato slices for added flavor and nutrition.
  • Reheat in an air fryer or toaster oven to maintain crispiness, but bacon may become less crispy after refrigeration.
