Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces brioche buns
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 4 pieces bacon slices
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup arugula (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the sriracha sauce and mayonnaise until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Wipe the skillet clean and return to medium-low heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt.
Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry them to your desired doneness (sunny side up or over easy recommended). Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the eggs cook, in a separate skillet or toaster, lightly toast the brioche buns until golden brown.
Spread an even layer of the sriracha mayo on the cut sides of each toasted brioche bun.
Assemble the sandwich: Place a slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each bun, followed by two crispy bacon slices. Top with a fried egg, a handful of arugula (if using), and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy the dangerously delicious breakfast sandwich!
