Cheese Bacon Egg Toast (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Morning Essentials
01 -
4 fresh eggs, large
02 -
2 tablespoons milk, to make the eggs soft and fluffy
03 -
6 crispy bacon strips, cooked to perfection
→ Toasted Layers
04 -
8 slices of cheddar cheese (or about 1 1/2 cups shredded)
05 -
4 sturdy slices of thick-cut sourdough bread
06 -
4 tablespoons butter, soft enough to spread easily
→ Flavor Boosters
07 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
# Instructions:
01 -
Fry the bacon strips to your preferred crunchiness. Once done, set them aside on paper towels to soak up extra grease.
02 -
Whisk eggs, milk, and pepper until smooth. Stir them gently over low heat in the bacon fat for soft, fluffy results.
03 -
Take two slices of bread and stack with cheese, scrambled eggs, and crispy bacon. Place another cheese-covered slice on top to complete.
04 -
Spread softened butter generously on the outside of each sandwich. Warm up a clean skillet over medium heat to prepare for grilling.
05 -
Lay the sandwiches butter-side down in the hot skillet. Press lightly with a spatula and cook 3-4 minutes. Flip carefully, butter the other side, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
06 -
Let the sandwiches cool slightly before cutting them in half. Serve right away with sauces like spicy mayo, ketchup, or maple syrup.
# Notes:
01 -
Go for sourdough that’s thick to keep everything together and add a nice crunch.
02 -
Turn the heat down if your bread’s browning too fast—it gives the cheese more time to melt.
03 -
Whole grain, rye, or ciabatta are also great bread options for this sandwich.
