Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 slices Bread (sourdough or white sandwich bread)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
- N/A Optional hot sauce or ketchup (for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently scramble the eggs, stirring frequently until cooked but still soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread. These will become the outer sides of your sandwich that will grill and crisp up.
Assemble the sandwich: Place one slice of bread butter-side down on a clean work surface. Layer with one slice of cheese, scrambled eggs, cooked bacon, and the second slice of cheese. Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.
Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the assembled sandwich onto the skillet.
Cook the sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately with your choice of hot sauce or ketchup.
