Perfect for brunch or a hearty snack, this dish combines the creaminess of provolone with the crispiness of bacon, all enveloped in toasted whole-wheat bread.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the basil leaves and pat them dry.
- Chop the onion stalk finely.
- Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips and cook until crispy.
- Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
- Leave a little bit of bacon grease in the skillet for cooking the eggs.
- In the skillet with remaining bacon grease, add the finely chopped onion and sauté until they are softened and translucent.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the onions.
- Scramble the eggs gently until they are cooked through but still soft.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
- Lay out the 4 slices of whole-wheat bread on a clean surface.
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice.
- On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer slices of provolone cheese, scrambled eggs, crispy bacon strips, and basil leaves.
- Sprinkle a bit of grated Parmesan cheese over the fillings.
- Close the sandwiches with the remaining two slices of bread, placing the buttered side on the outside.
- Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute.
- Cut the sandwiches in halves or quarters if desired.
- Serve immediately while hot and gooey.
Tips:
- Cook the bacon until crispy to add a nice crunchy texture to your sandwich.
- Use a non-stick pan to make flipping the sandwich easier and prevent sticking.
- Allow the butter to come to room temperature before spreading to ensure even coverage on the bread.
- For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a dash of black pepper or a sprinkle of garlic powder to the eggs before scrambling them.
- Press down lightly on the sandwich with a spatula while grilling to help the cheese melt evenly.
- Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad to balance the richness of the sandwich.
Enjoy the comforting, savory goodness of this Bacon and Egg Grilled Cheese Sandwich, enhanced by fresh basil and a hint of parmesan. Whether you're serving it for breakfast or a quick lunch, it's sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
