Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 2 slices fresh bread or 1 English muffin

Eggs

  • 2 eggs (scrambled or fried)

Meat

  • 2 slices bacon or 2 sausage links

Cheese

  • 2 slices cheese of choice (cheddar, American, or Swiss)

Cooking Fettles

  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil

Optional Fresh Additions

  • Handful fresh greens or ¼ avocado, sliced

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Toast your choice of fresh bread or English muffin until golden brown and slightly crisp at the edges to prevent sogginess and add texture.
  2. Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon or sausage until crispy and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels to keep the crunch.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Using the same skillet, cook the eggs scrambled or fried according to your preference. Season lightly with salt, black pepper, and sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika for enhanced flavor.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: Layer the toasted bread with cooked meat, eggs, and cheese. Add optional fresh greens or avocado slices to brighten the flavors and textures.
  5. Melt the Cheese: Return the sandwich to the skillet on low heat, cover for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts perfectly and binds all layers together.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from heat, let it sit briefly to avoid burning, then slice and enjoy immediately for a melty, comforting breakfast experience.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and cheese for even cooking and melting.
  • Toast the bread thoroughly for a sturdy, crispy exterior.
  • Cook ingredients in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure proper texture.
  • Butter the outside of the bread lightly before toasting for a golden finish.
  • Try mixing two types of cheese, such as cheddar and mozzarella, for a flavorful melt.
