Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces sliced bread
- 2 slices bacon
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Carefully wipe the skillet clean and return it to the stove. Melt 1/2 tablespoon of the unsalted butter in the skillet over medium heat.
Crack the egg into the skillet and sprinkle it with salt and black pepper. Cook the egg until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the egg gently if you prefer your yolk less runny. Remove the egg from the skillet and set aside.
Spread the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each bread slice. Place the slices butter-side down in the same skillet over medium heat.
Spread mayonnaise on the unbuttered side of one of the slices, then layer the cooked bacon, the fried egg, and the cheddar cheese on top.
Place the other bread slice on top, unbuttered side facing the fillings. Press down gently with a spatula to help the sandwich hold together.
Cook the sandwich until the bottom slice is golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese has melted, another 2-3 minutes.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
