Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Bacon
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
Instructions
Start by cooking the bacon. Place the 4 bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the bacon, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 7-10 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
While the bacon cooks, prepare the other ingredients. Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of bread (using 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise total).
In a clean skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Crack the eggs into the skillet, making sure they are apart for easy flipping. Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the eggs.
Fry the eggs to your liking; sunny side up or over easy are recommended, cooking for about 2-3 minutes. Flip the eggs if desired and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, begin toasting the bread. Use a toaster or, alternatively, after the eggs are cooked, wipe the skillet and toast the bread in it with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, about 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
Once the bread is toasted, layer the cheese slices on 2 of the bread slices, followed by the cooked bacon and a fried egg on each. Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side down.
Cut the sandwiches in half if desired and serve immediately while warm and the cheese is still melted.
