Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bacon strips
- 2 units Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Bread slices
- 1 slice Cheddar cheese
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 0.5 unit Tomato
Directions
Step 1
Start by frying the bacon: Place the bacon strips in a cold pan, then turn the heat to medium. Cook the bacon for about 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Step 2
While the bacon is cooking, slice the tomato into thin rounds.
Step 3
Once the bacon is done, wipe the pan slightly with a paper towel, leaving a bit of the oil for flavor.
Step 4
In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan, keeping them separate. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Step 5
Cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 2-3 minutes. For a firmer yolk, gently flip the eggs and cook for an additional minute.
Step 6
Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
To assemble the sandwich, place one slice of toast on a plate. Layer with lettuce leaves, half of the sliced tomato, and then the cooked bacon.
Step 8
Gently place the eggs over the bacon, followed by the slice of cheddar cheese.
Step 9
Top with the remaining tomato slices and lettuce, then close the sandwich with the second slice of toasted bread.
Step 10
Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately.
