Ingredients

• 2 slices Texas toast
• 2 Eggs
• 2 slices Thick-cut bacon
• 1 slice Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Pepper

Directions

Step 1

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the thick-cut bacon slices until crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

Step 2

2. While the bacon is cooking, butter one side of each slice of Texas toast. Set them aside.

Step 3

3. In the same skillet, crack the eggs and cook them sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a clean plate.

Step 4

4. Reduce the heat to low and add the buttered Texas toast to the skillet, buttered side down. Toast the bread until golden brown on one side, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

5. Flip one slice of toast over and place the cheddar cheese on top to allow it to melt slightly. Top the cheese with the crispy bacon slices, then carefully layer the fried eggs on top of the bacon.

Step 6

6. Spread mayonnaise evenly on the unbuttered side of the second slice of toast. If using, drizzle hot sauce over the eggs for a spicy kick.

Step 7

7. Place the second slice of toast, mayonnaise side facing downward, on top of the eggs to complete the sandwich.

Step 8

8. Press the sandwich slightly with a spatula, then remove it from the skillet. Allow it to cool for a minute before slicing and serving.
