Breakfast Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 strips uncooked bacon
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices sandwich bread
- 1 slice sharp Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
Instructions
- Cook Bacon: Place 2 strips of uncooked bacon in a large sauté pan over medium-low heat. Cook the bacon until it reaches your preferred level of crispiness. Once done, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease from the pan.
- Cook Eggs: Crack the 2 large eggs into the remaining bacon grease in the pan and increase the heat to medium. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan and cook until the egg whites are fully set. Turn off the heat, uncover the pan, then place the crispy bacon strips and slice of sharp Cheddar cheese on top of the eggs. Cover the pan again to let the cheese melt and the yolks finish cooking to your desired doneness.
- Toast Bread and Assemble: While the eggs are cooking, toast the 2 slices of sandwich bread. Spread 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam evenly on one slice. Transfer the cheesy bacon and egg mixture onto the jam-spread slice, then top with the second toast slice to complete your sandwich. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust bacon crispiness to your liking by cooking longer or shorter over medium-low heat.
- Cooking eggs covered helps them cook evenly and melt the cheese without flipping.
- Strawberry jam adds a sweet contrast to the savory bacon and cheese—feel free to substitute with your preferred jam or omit if desired.
- For a richer sandwich, use an extra slice of cheese or butter the bread before toasting.
