Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Rustic bread (such as sourdough or ciabatta)
- 2 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 1 Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Cook the bacon in the skillet until crispy, about 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
In the same skillet, melt 1 teaspoon of butter over low heat. Crack the egg into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny, about 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, then carefully remove the egg and set aside.
Spread the remaining 1 teaspoon of butter on one side of each bread slice.
On the unbuttered side of one bread slice, spread the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise evenly.
Layer the cheddar cheese slices, crispy bacon, and cooked egg over the mustard-mayo mixture. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
Heat a panini press or a clean skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, press the sandwich down with a spatula or a heavy pan.
Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes per side (or 3-4 minutes in a panini press) until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the panini from the heat, slice in half, and serve immediately.
