Loaded Breakfast Sandwich


  • Author: Amelia
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 2

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sandwich:

  • 4 slices of halal beef bacon
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 slices of cheddar cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
  • 2 brioche buns (or your favorite sandwich rolls)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional, for spreading)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter, for cooking the eggs

Optional Add-Ins:

  • Hot sauce: For a spicy kick.
  • Lettuce or spinach: Adds some crunch and freshness.
  • Tomato slices: For extra juiciness and flavor.
  • Sautéed mushrooms: Adds an earthy richness.
  • Mustard or ketchup: For added tang and sweetness.

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Halal Beef Bacon

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the halal beef bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Once the bacon is cooked to your liking, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat. Leave the rendered bacon fat in the skillet for extra flavor if you want to cook your eggs in it, or wipe it clean if you prefer.

Step 2: Toast the Buns

While the bacon is cooking, toast your brioche buns. Split the buns in half and place them cut-side down in the skillet for about 1-2 minutes, or until they are golden and slightly crispy. If you like, you can spread a bit of butter on the buns before toasting for added flavor.

Step 3: Cook the Eggs

In the same skillet (or a clean one), melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet if you prefer fried eggs, or whisk them in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper if you prefer scrambled eggs.

  • For Fried Eggs: Cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the eggs and cook for an additional minute if you prefer your yolks fully cooked.
  • For Scrambled Eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring gently, until they are just set, about 3-4 minutes.

Once the eggs are cooked, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each egg to let it melt.

Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich

Now it’s time to build your loaded breakfast sandwich! Spread mayonnaise (or your preferred condiment) on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a few slices of avocado, then place the cheesy eggs on top. Next, add the crispy beef bacon slices. You can also layer in any additional toppings, such as tomato slices, spinach, or a drizzle of hot sauce, for extra flavor.

Finally, top each sandwich with the other half of the bun and press down lightly to help all the ingredients stay in place.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Your loaded breakfast sandwiches are now ready to enjoy! Serve them immediately for the best taste and texture. You can pair them with a side of fruit, hash browns, or a cup of coffee for the ultimate breakfast experience.
