Fried egg and bacon sandwich with cheddar and pepper sauce

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:

2 bacon strips
16g
2 slices whole-wheat bread
50g
2 eggs
110g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g
1 tbsp butter
14g
2 oz cheddar cheese
54g
1 tsp pepper sauce
4.70g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Bacon:
- 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.
2. Prepare the Bread:
- While the bacon is cooking, toast the whole-wheat bread slices either in a toaster or in the oven until golden brown.
3. Fry the Eggs:
- 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.
4. Assemble the Sandwich:
- 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.
5. Top and Serve:
- 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!
