Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces vegetarian bacon strips
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces slices of cheddar cheese
- 2 pieces whole grain sandwich buns
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup fresh spinach leaves
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the vegetarian bacon strips to the skillet and cook according to package instructions until crispy. Typically, this takes about 5-7 minutes. Once done, remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them sunny-side up, or flip them for over-easy eggs, based on your preference.
Season the eggs with salt and black pepper while cooking.
While the eggs are cooking, split the sandwich buns and lightly toast them, either in a toaster or on a pan.
Spread the mayonnaise evenly on the cut sides of each bun.
Once the buns are toasted, place a slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each bun. Add a cooked egg on top of the cheese.
Layer the crispy vegetarian bacon strips over each egg.
Add fresh spinach leaves on top of the bacon for a touch of freshness.
Top with the other half of the bun and press gently.
Serve immediately while warm.
