When I say this is the ultimate breakfast sandwich, I mean it.
It’s not complicated. It’s not flashy. BUT it is so delicious.
It has that perfect salty/sweet/crunchy/cheesy combo that I crave and it uses ingredients I almost always have on hand. You can vary this recipe to include sausage instead of bacon or use whatever type of jam you prefer. I’ve used raspberry before and that was really yummy. Use this as your base and get creative!
I usually am making two of these sandwiches at a time, but I wrote the recipe for one and it can be scaled to fit whatever crowd you’re feeding.
THE ULTIMATE BREAKFAST SANDWICH
Serves: 1
2 Slices bread of your choice - I like to use this bread because it’s super hearty, but I’ve also made this with English Muffins and it was super good too.
1 Slice Cheddar Cheese, I like this brand best.
2 Slices thick cut bacon
1 Egg
1 Tablespoon Peanut butter
1 Tablespoon Strawberry Jelly
Cook the Bacon: Place bacon on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Turn oven on to 350 degrees and let bacon cook for 25 minutes. Allow to cool on the pan then transfer to a couple pieces of paper towel folder over to allow the grease
Cook the Egg: While the bread is toasting heat a medium sized non-stick pan to medium heat, add a little olive oil to the pan, allow the oil to heat and then crack the egg onto the pan. Using a spatula, break the egg yolk so that it can cook more evenly. This will prevent the yolk from dripping all over once you put in on the sandwich. Salt and pepper the egg. Place the slice of cheddar on top of the egg once you’ve broken the yolk. Cover it with a lid and allow the egg to cook until set and the cheese has melted.
Toast the bread: Place the bread in the toaster and toast to you liking.
Assemble the Sandwich: Spread the peanut butter and jelly on the toast. Add the bacon, top with the cheesy egg, and enjoy!
