Ingredients
- 2 slices bacon
- 1 egg
- 2 slices whole-grain bread
- 1 leaf romaine lettuce
- 2 slices tomato
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by laying out all components: bacon, egg, bread, lettuce, and tomato.
- Place a skillet over medium heat and cook bacon slices until crispy and golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Remove bacon and set on paper towels to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet with residual bacon fat, crack the egg carefully. Cook the egg sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- While the egg is cooking, toast the whole-grain bread slices until they reach a golden-brown color and have a crisp texture.
- Assemble the sandwich by first laying down one slice of toasted bread, then arranging the crisp bacon strips.
- Add the fresh romaine lettuce leaf on top of the bacon, followed by the sliced tomato pieces.
- Carefully place the freshly cooked fried egg on top of the tomato slices.
- Cover with the second slice of toasted bread, gently pressing down to ensure all ingredients are secure.
- Cut the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately while the egg is still warm and the bacon remains crisp.
Tips
- Use a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan for the best bacon and egg cooking results.
- Cook bacon on medium heat to ensure even crispiness without burning.
- For the perfect fried egg, use fresh eggs at room temperature.
- Season your egg with high-quality sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Toast bread until it's golden and crisp to provide a sturdy base for your sandwich.
- Let bacon drain on paper towels to remove excess grease and maintain crispiness.
- Assemble the sandwich immediately after cooking to enjoy maximum temperature and texture.
- Choose ripe, fresh tomatoes and crisp romaine lettuce for the best flavor and crunch.
- If you prefer, you can cook the egg over-easy or over-medium instead of sunny-side up.
