How To Make Bacon and Egg Sandwich
Classic Bacon and Egg Sandwich Recipe
It's a simple yet delicious way to start your day.
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bacon
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices of your favorite bread (white, whole wheat, or your preference)
- Butter or cooking spray for toasting the bread
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, avocado, or cheese
Instructions
- Start by cooking the bacon. You can do this in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 400°F (200°C) until it's crispy and browned. Place cooked bacon on paper towels to drain excess grease.
- In a small bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until the yolks and whites are well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and let them cook undisturbed for a moment. Then, gently stir with a spatula, occasionally lifting and folding the eggs to create soft, fluffy curds. Cook to your preferred level of doneness (usually a minute or two).
- Remove the skillet from heat when the eggs are still slightly runny, as they will continue to cook off the heat. Overcooked eggs can become dry.
- While the eggs are cooking, toast your bread to your desired level of crispiness. You can use a toaster, toaster oven, or a skillet with a bit of butter.
- Place the toasted bread slices on a clean surface. If desired, spread a thin layer of butter or mayonnaise on the bread for added flavor.
- Slice the sandwich in half diagonally to make it easier to eat.
