Why you’ll love this!

• This sandwich is a delicious breakfast sandwich but it can also be served all day long or even a late night snack!
• It’s incredibly easy, uses simple ingredients, and can be changed up to reflect your favorite flavors and textures.

Ingredients

First, I really recommend using thick cut bacon for this recipe. I use thick cut, because I’m a texture gal, and when I can really taste the thick cut of bacon in a bite… my bacon love language is on high-alert.

• bacon
• sliced cheese (we used white American cheese)
• egg
• bun (We used brioche but you can use a hamburger bun, Hawaiian bun, etc.)

Then, you’ll want an egg, a slice of cheese and a bun for each sandwich you want to make!

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Bacon

Cook the bacon. (I’m a “crunchy” bacon kind of gal, but I have friends and family members that prefer it’s not cooked as long. So however you prefer your bacon, feel free to cook it as long as you like! Just make sure it is fully cooked!) Set aside, and keep warm. You can even cook bacon in the air fryer if you have one!

Step 2: Over Easy Egg

If you’ve noticed “over-easy” eggs on sandwiches all over the menus in your favorite restaurants lately, then you know that eggs aren’t just for breakfast anymore. I think it takes sandwiches to a whole new level.

So gently cook your over-easy eggs, being careful not to bust the egg yolk. (You’ll want to bust that yolk when cutting the sandwich in half, right before serving!)

Step 3: Assemble!

Slice your brioche bun in half, and layer on a slice of cheese, and then top with two slices of bacon. (I sliced each bacon piece in half, so the bacon pieces would sit better on the sandwich.)

Then, carefully top with your over-easy egg, and the top of the brioche bun.

Serve!

Sometimes, I don’t get so lucky to “pop” the egg yolk when I slice it, but nevertheless, the combination of the crunch of the bacon with the other ingredients is DYNAMITE!

If you won’t be serving the breakfast sandwiches right away, you can wrap them in aluminum foil for easy transportation or to keep warm!

Substitutions

Feel free to experiment and substitute items for this sandwich. Such as:

• Cheese: The type of cheese is up to you! Here are some of our favorites: swiss, provolone, pepper jack, gouda
• Meat: Turkey Bacon, sausage, ham, turkey (or skip the meat and just do cheese and egg sandwiches)
• Bun: Hamburger bun, Hawaiian bun, slider, buttermilk biscuit, kaiser roll, bagel
• Eggs: If you’re not a fan of runny eggs, you can easily cook a fried egg and top with the fluffy egg instead
