Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Bacon
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the bacon.
- Cook until crispy, flipping as needed (about 4-5 minutes).
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Step 2: Toast the Bun
- While the bacon cooks, slice your brioche bun and spread a little butter on each side.
- Toast in a skillet or toaster until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 3: Cook the Eggs
- In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper.
- Heat butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour in the eggs and cook slowly, stirring gently until they are just set.
- Place a slice of cheese on top and let it melt slightly.
Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich
- Spread mayo and Dijon mustard (if using) on the toasted bun.
- Layer the cheesy eggs on the bottom half of the bun.
- Add crispy bacon and any extra toppings (avocado, tomato, greens).
- Top with the other half of the bun and press down slightly.
