Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches

These Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwiches are crispy, cheesy, savory, and incredibly satisfying! Perfect for a quick breakfast, weekend brunch, or an easy grab-and-go meal.

Ingredients

• 4 English muffins, bagels, or breakfast rolls
• 8 slices bacon
• 4 large eggs
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, optional
• 1 tablespoon ketchup or hot sauce, optional

Instructions

1. Cook the bacon:
   Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook for 4–6 minutes per side, or until crispy and golden. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Leave a little bacon grease in the skillet for extra flavor.
2. Toast the bread:
   Slice the English muffins or rolls in half. Toast them in the same skillet, cut-side down, until lightly golden and crisp. Set aside.
3. Cook the eggs:
   Melt the butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Crack in the eggs and season with salt and black pepper. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks reach your preferred doneness. For a sandwich that is easier to eat, gently break the yolks while cooking.
4. Add the cheese:
   Place one slice of cheddar cheese over each egg. Cover the skillet for about 30–60 seconds, just until the cheese melts.
5. Assemble the sandwiches:
   Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, or your favorite sauce on the toasted bread, if desired. Add the cheesy egg, followed by two slices of crispy bacon.
6. Finish and serve:
   Place the top half of the bread over the filling. Serve immediately while hot and cheesy.

Tips

• For extra crispy bacon, cook it a little longer over medium heat.
• Try American cheese, Swiss, pepper jack, or mozzarella instead of cheddar.
• Add sliced avocado, tomato, or caramelized onions for extra flavor.
• For a spicy kick, add hot sauce or sliced jalapeños.
• To make meal-prep sandwiches, wrap them individually and refrigerate. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
