Bacon Egg And Cheese Grilled Cheese
This decadent bacon egg and cheese grilled cheese hits the spot anytime of day, whether for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a late night snack.
Ingredients
- 4 slices artisan bread
- 4 large eggs beaten well
- 8 teaspoons butter
- 9 slices American cheese
- 6 strips bacon cooked
Instructions
- Start by making sure all of your ingredients are prepped and ready to go as you’ll be making eggs and a grilled cheese at the same time.
- Grease a non-stick frying pan for the eggs and preheat a cast iron griddle for the grilled cheese over medium-low heat.
- Once you’re all set to start cooking, assemble your grilled cheeses right on the pan - butter the outsides of the bread, then stack: bread, three slices of American cheese for each sandwich, and then the other slice of bread.
- In the meantime, scramble the eggs over medium heat and melt in 3 slices of American cheese.
- Once the eggs and grilled cheese are finished cooking, carefully open up the grilled cheese on a plate or cutting board to prepare it to be stuffed. Add the scrambled eggs to both grilled cheeses, and then top the eggs with 3 slices of bacon per sandwich.
- Finally, close the grilled cheeses back up, slice in half, and serve!
Notes
Prepping your ingredients: Making sure you are ready by prepping your ingredients is the key to easy and straightforward cooking. To learn more about the art of mise en place, check out our article here.
Bacon: Cut the strips of bacon in half to make cooking, assembling, and eating, easier. If you opt for this, you’ll use 6 half strips of bacon per sandwich.
An added treat: For an extra decadent breakfast, use the bacon grease in place of butter to cook your eggs. You can even brush some bacon grease onto the outside of the bread for your grilled cheese instead of using butter.
Cooking order: Start the grilled cheese first, and then make the eggs while your sandwich cooks. The grilled cheese will take more time than scrambling the eggs will.
