Ingredients
  • 2 Bacon slices
  • 1 Large egg
  • 2 Bread slices
  • 1 tsp Butter or mayonnaise
  • Pinch Salt
  • Pinch Black pepper
  • 1 Optional: Cheese slice
  • 1 Optional: Tomato slice

Preparing the Bacon

Place bacon slices in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat until crispy, flipping occasionally. This method helps the bacon render its fat slowly and evenly. Once crispy, remove bacon from skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Leave some bacon fat in the pan for the egg.

Cooking the Egg

Crack the egg into the skillet with the bacon fat (or add a little butter/oil if needed). Cook to your desired doneness - sunny-side up, over easy, or scrambled. Season with salt and pepper.

Toasting the Bread (Optional)

While the bacon and egg are cooking, lightly toast the bread slices if desired. Spread butter or mayonnaise on the toasted bread.

Assembling the Sandwich

Place the bacon on one slice of bread. Top with the cooked egg. If using, add cheese and/or tomato slices. Place the other slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich. Serve immediately.
