Ingredients
  

  • 2 strips bacon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2-3 slices cheese cheddar or American
  • 1 ½ teaspoon mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon butter
  • 2 slices bread croissant, white bread, brioche, or your favorite

Instructions
 

  • Cook Bacon: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon 3–4 minutes per side until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to drain.
  • Cook Eggs: Drain most of the bacon grease, leaving a thin layer. Cook eggs to your liking (fried or scrambled). Set eggs aside and wipe out the pan.
  • Assemble Sandwich: Spread a bit of mayonnaise on all sides of bread slices. In the pan, melt butter over medium heat. Layer 1 slice of bread, then half of cheese, cooked eggs, cooked bacon, more cheese, top slice of bread.
  • Grill: Cook sandwich, pressing gently with a spatula, 3–4 minutes per side until bread is golden and cheese is melted.
  • Transfer to a plate and enjoy!

Notes

  • Drain the bacon on a paper towel lined plate to remove excess grease.
  • Spread a bit of mayo on the outside and inside of the bread. This adds flavor and helps the sandwich achieve a crispy golden exterior.
  • Use medium heat when grilling the sandwich. Too hot and the bread will burn before the cheese melts.
