Grilled Cheese Bacon Eggs (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Breakfast Bits
01 -
4 eggs, big and fresh
02 -
6 crispy bacon slices, cooked to perfection
03 -
2 spoonfuls of milk, for light and fluffy eggs
→ Bread and Cheese
04 -
4 hearty sourdough slices, thick and tasty
05 -
4 tablespoons softened butter, easy to spread
06 -
8 slices of cheddar, or about 1.5 cups shredded
→ Flavor Touches
07 -
A small pinch of ground black pepper
# Instructions:
01 -
Fry the bacon until it's crispy and golden. Drain off the extra grease by resting it on paper towels, keeping the crunch intact.
02 -
Mix eggs, milk, and pepper in a bowl until smooth. Pour into the warm bacon drippings and stir slowly on low heat to make creamy, fluffy eggs.
03 -
Take each bread slice, add cheese on top. Place crispy bacon strips on two of them and spoon on the eggs. Finish by topping with another cheesy bread slice.
04 -
Spread butter on the outside of all finished sandwiches. Warm up a clean skillet until you're ready to toast them to perfection.
05 -
Put sandwiches in the hot pan with the buttered side down. Press gently with your spatula, let them cook for 3–4 minutes. Butter the other side, flip carefully, and cook for another 3–4 minutes till golden.
06 -
Let the sandwiches sit for a moment before slicing them diagonally. Serve warm with sides like hot sauce, ketchup, or a drizzle of syrup.
# Notes:
01 -
Sourdough bread holds up the best and adds a nice texture.
02 -
If the bread darkens too fast, turn the heat down to finish melting the cheese.
03 -
Feel free to swap sourdough for others like rye, ciabatta, or whole grain.
