This delectable fried egg and bacon sandwich with cheddar and pepper sauce is perfect for breakfast or brunch. Combining crispy bacon, creamy cheddar, and a tangy pepper sauce with the authentic taste of whole-wheat bread, this recipe will tantalize your taste buds and keep you satisfied.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place the bacon strips in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat. Flip occasionally until crispy, about 6-8 minutes.
- Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease. Set aside.
- While the bacon is cooking, toast the whole-wheat bread slices either in a toaster or in the oven until golden brown.
- In the same skillet used for the bacon (draining excess fat, if necessary), add 1 tablespoon of butter and melt over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet, ensuring they keep some separation. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
- Fry the eggs to your preferred doneness. For sunny-side-up, cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, approximately 3-4 minutes. For over-easy, flip the eggs carefully after the whites are set and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Lay one slice of toasted bread on a plate.
- Place the fried eggs onto the bread.
- Add the crispy bacon strips on top of the eggs.
- Sprinkle or lay the cheddar cheese atop the bacon. The heat from the eggs and bacon will start to melt the cheese.
- Drizzle the pepper sauce over the cheese.
- Place the second slice of toasted bread on top.
- Cut the sandwich in half, if desired.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
Tips:
- For extra crispy bacon, cook it over medium heat slowly to render out the fat.
- Toast your whole-wheat bread to achieve a perfect crunch that complements the creamy texture of the cheese and eggs.
- Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and nutritional benefit.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of pepper sauce based on your heat tolerance.
- To melt the cheddar evenly, consider placing a lid over the pan for a minute after adding the cheese.
With minimal ingredients and simple steps, this fried egg and bacon sandwich is both easy to prepare and incredibly satisfying. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned cook, following these tips and instructions ensures a delicious meal that can be enjoyed any time of the day. Bon appétit!
