Ingredients
- 2 pieces vegetarian bacon strips
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces slices of cheddar cheese
- 2 pieces whole grain sandwich buns
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup fresh spinach leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the vegetarian bacon strips to the skillet and cook according to package instructions until crispy. Typically, this takes about 5-7 minutes. Once done, remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them sunny-side up, or flip them for over-easy eggs, based on your preference.
Step 4
Season the eggs with salt and black pepper while cooking.
Step 5
While the eggs are cooking, split the sandwich buns and lightly toast them, either in a toaster or on a pan.
Step 6
Spread the mayonnaise evenly on the cut sides of each bun.
Step 7
Once the buns are toasted, place a slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each bun. Add a cooked egg on top of the cheese.
Step 8
Layer the crispy vegetarian bacon strips over each egg.
Step 9
Add fresh spinach leaves on top of the bacon for a touch of freshness.
Step 10
Top with the other half of the bun and press gently.
Step 11
Serve immediately while warm.
