Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook the 4 bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In the same skillet, melt the 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Crack the 2 eggs into the skillet and fry until the whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. Season with the pinch of salt.

  3. Step 3

    Toast the 2 bread slices until golden and crisp. Place them on a baking sheet.

  4. Step 4

    Top each toast with half of the crispy bacon and half of the 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. Step 5

    Carefully place one fried egg on each toast. Drizzle with the 2 tbsp tomato sauce and scatter the 6 cherry tomatoes (halved) on top. Serve immediately.
