Bacon Egg and Cheese Sandwich

📝 Ingredients

• 4 slices beef bacon ((I prefer Godshall's Beef Bacon - Cured Beef Plates))
• 4 slices bread (toasted & buttered)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
• 4 large eggs (lightly beaten)
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
• 2 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 tablespoons jelly or jam (grape or strawberry)
• 2 teaspoons hot sauce

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lay the bacon slices aluminum foil lined baking sheet and bake until crispy and golden and fat is rendered (see notes). Transfer bacon strips to a plate lined with paper towels.
2. 2Crack the eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper and lightly beat them. To a nonstick skillet over medium heat melt the butter. Pour the eggs into the skillet and allow eggs to sit undisturbed for 30 seconds. When the edges start to firm up, use a spatula to fold the sides of the eggs into the center of the pan. Repeat folding in the shape of a long rectagle until eggs are no longer runny. Remove eggs from the heat and divide into two portions and add cheese over the top. Cover with lid for 1 minute to allow the cheese to melt.
3. 3Add butter and jelly to one side of toast. Place the cooked eggs on the toast and top with bacon. Sprinkle with hot sauce and close the sandwich with the second slice. Serve and enjoy!
