Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Thick-cut bread slices (sourdough or brioche recommended)
- 1 Large egg
- 1 tablespoon Salted butter
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese (or your preferred melty cheese)
- 2 Bacon strips
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Fresh spinach leaves (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the bacon strips in the skillet and cook until crisp, about 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove the bacon and set it aside on a plate lined with paper towels. Discard excess grease, leaving about 1 teaspoon in the skillet.
Crack the egg into the skillet and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook the egg to your preferred doneness, either sunny side up or over easy. Set aside the cooked egg on a plate.
Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Spread mayonnaise on the other side of one of the bread slices.
Assemble the sandwich: Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Layer one slice of cheese, the cooked bacon strips, spinach (if using), the fried egg, and the second slice of cheese. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook the sandwich over medium-low heat, pressing lightly with a spatula, for 2-3 minutes until the bottom slice is golden brown. Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for 1 minute. Slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
