Ingredients

  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices Sharp white cheddar cheese
  • 6 strips bacon, cooked
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine for toasting and frying
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter (or olive oil) over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and fry them to your preferred consistency.
  • Butter both sides of your sourdough slices with the remaining butter or margarine. In the same skillet (wiped clean), toast the bread on both sides until golden brown and crispy. In the last 30 seconds of toasting add the cheese slices to start melting.

Assemble the Sandwich:

  • Start with one slice of toasted sourdough. Place the cooked eggs on top of the bread.
  • Add 3 slices of bacon on top of the eggs. Top with the second slice of sourdough with the cheese on it.
  • Assemble the second sandwich. Serve immediately while hot!

Notes

Be sure to check the full post for serving ideas, sandwich variations, ingredient tips, and much more.
  • Choose a moist, dense loaf of sourdough bread with a slightly tangy flavor for best results.
  • Allow the cooked meat and eggs to cool slightly before assembling sandwiches. This keeps the sandwich from ending up soggy.
  • Lightly toasting the sourdough bread until golden brown enhances its flavor, adds a bit of crunch, and prevents the bread from getting soggy when loaded with sandwich ingredients.
  • Melt the cheese in the pan. Add the cheese to the toast in the pan over medium-high heat so the cheese melts and gives the bread a nice crusty golden brown finish.
