Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

  2. Step 2

    In the same skillet, melt 0.25 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Crack the egg into the skillet and cook to your preference (sunny-side up, over-easy, or over-medium), about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Toast the bread slices until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

  4. Step 4

    Butter the inside of the toasted bread slices with remaining butter.

  5. Step 5

    Assemble sandwich: place cooked bacon on one slice of toast, top with cooked egg, then cheese slice, then remaining toast. Serve immediately.
