Breakfast Sandwich with Bacon, Egg, and Cheese

This quick and tasty breakfast sandwich combines crispy bacon, melted cheddar cheese, and a perfectly fried egg, all toasted to perfection. Use an air fryer or skillet to make it just right!

Ingredients for Breakfast Sandwich

• 2 slices of bread (white, wheat, or brioche)
• 2 eggs, fried and seasoned to taste
• 3-4 slices of bacon (uncured turkey bacon or plant-based bacon)
• 2-4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter or mayonnaise (for toasting the bread)
• 1 teaspoon mayonnaise (optional, for condiment)

How to Make the Breakfast Sandwich

1. Cook the Bacon: Place 3-4 slices of bacon in the air fryer. Set the temperature to 350-375°F and cook for 3-6 minutes, or until crispy. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Bread: Spread a thin layer of butter or mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. Toast the bread in the air fryer or a skillet until golden brown and crispy. If using a skillet, you can do this step at the end.
3. Fry the Eggs: Fry two eggs in a skillet, shaping them to match the size of the sandwich bread. Flip the eggs halfway through to cook both sides. Alternatively, you can cook the eggs in the air fryer.
4. Assemble the Sandwich: Place a slice of cheddar cheese on one slice of toasted bread. Add the fried egg on top, followed by another slice of cheddar cheese. Then, layer the crispy bacon on top of the cheese. Add the remaining slice of cheese and top with the second slice of toasted bread.
5. Final Toasting: Place the assembled sandwich back in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes to warm through and crisp up the bread. Remove from the air fryer.
6. Optional Extra Toasting: For a golden brown finish, toast the sandwich in a skillet with butter or mayonnaise over medium heat, turning until both sides are nicely browned.

Additional Tips

Air fryer times and temperatures may vary, so keep an eye on your sandwich as it cooks. If you prefer, you can use avocado instead of mayonnaise for a touch of luxury. For a plant-based option, try vegan cheddar and Hellmann's Vegan Mayo for a tasty and satisfying alternative.

Enjoy your delicious and easy breakfast sandwich!
