Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bacon
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup coffee
- 2 eggs
- 2 slices of bread
- Butter for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the bacon jam first by cutting bacon into small pieces and cooking in a skillet over medium heat until crispy and fat is rendered.
- Remove bacon from skillet, leaving the grease. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent and slightly caramelized, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Return bacon to the skillet, add brown sugar and coffee. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture becomes thick and jam-like, about 10 minutes.
- While bacon jam is reducing, toast the bread slices until golden brown and crisp.
- In a separate non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Carefully crack eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper.
- Fry eggs to desired doneness - for runny yolks, cook approximately 2-3 minutes. For firmer yolks, cook 3-4 minutes.
- Spread a generous layer of warm bacon jam on each toasted bread slice.
- Carefully place a fried egg on top of the bacon jam, allowing the yolk to slightly run over the jam.
- Close the sandwich, cut diagonally, and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Crispiness is Key: For the best bacon jam, ensure your bacon is cooked until crispy to release maximum flavor and fat. This will help create that jam-like consistency you’re after.
- Caramelization Matters: When sautéing the onions, take your time to let them caramelize properly. This adds a depth of flavor that perfectly balances the sweetness of the brown sugar in the jam.
- Perfectly Toasted Bread: Don’t rush the toasting process. Aim for a golden-brown color to add a satisfying crunch that will hold up against the richness of the bacon jam and egg.
- Eggs to Your Liking: Adjust the frying time of your eggs based on your preference for yolk doneness. A runny yolk adds a delicious creaminess that mixes beautifully with the bacon jam.
- Serve Immediately: This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh and warm. Assemble and serve right away for the ultimate breakfast experience!
