Fried Egg Sandwich
Let’s make the best fried egg sandwich! Start with the right ingredients, pay attention to the details, and you can craft the ultimate breakfast sandwich!
Ingredients
▢2 sliced sourdough bread
▢2 tablespoons butter (divided)
▢2 large eggs
▢salt and ground black pepper
▢1 slice cheddar cheese
▢2 strips thick cut bacon (cooked)
Instructions
Butter the exterior of sourdough bread with 1 tablespoon of butter (½ tablespoon for each slice of bread) and toast the bread, buttered side down, in a skillet set over medium heat until the exterior is golden brown.
Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a separate large skillet set over medium heat and add two cracked eggs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and let cook for two minutes, or until the bottom of the eggs are firm. Gently flip the eggs and cook for an additional minute. Place cheese slice on the top of eggs after flipping so it begins to melt.*
Remove eggs from skillet, place on top of a sourdough slice, top with bacon, and add the remaining slice of sourdough on top (along with any condiment you desire), ensuring the buttered side of the bread slices are on the exterior.
Notes
*Instead of cooking the eggs in butter, you can use rendered bacon fat for added flavor. Otherwise, olive oil is a good substitution.
