Ingredients:
– 2 large eggs
– 3 slices bacon
– 1/4 cup shredded cheese, such as cheddar
– 2 slices of sourdough bread
– 2 slices of lettuce
– 2 slices of tomato

– 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
– Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Heat a large griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil.
2. Place the bacon on the griddle and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until crispy. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

5. Add the shredded cheese, cooked bacon, and cooked egg on top of the mayonnaise spread slice.
6. Add the lettuce and tomato slices on top of the cheese, bacon, and egg. Close the sandwich with the second slice of bread.
7. Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the griddle or skillet and then place the sandwich onto the hot surface.
8. Cook the sandwich for about 4 minutes on each side, or until golden and the cheese has melted.
9. Cut sandwich in half and serve with remaining lettuce and tomato slices.
Helpful Hack:
If you plan to make several of these sandwiches for a larger crowd, you can speed up the process by prepping and cooking the ingredients in bulk. Cook the bacon, eggs, and toast the bread in advance, then assemble the sandwiches on the warm griddle for a few minutes to melt the cheese and get that beautiful griddled color.
Tips and Suggestions:
– Serve the sandwich with a salad or side of roasted potatoes for a more filling meal.
– For more flavor, add a couple of dashes of hot sauce, pesto, or some other favorite condiment to the inside of the sandwich.
– To make this a vegetarian-friendly meal, omit the bacon and use vegetable oil instead of butter or other animal-based fats. You can also swap in your favorite plant-based cheese!
– If you’re looking for a cheesy sandwich, try adding some additional shredded cheese between the layers of egg, bacon, and lettuce.
