Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 slices center cut bacon cooked
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 tablespoon basil pesto
  • 2 tablespoon spreadable butter
  • 2 sliced gouda or cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Prepare the pan. Spray a medium non-stick skillet with cooking spray or lightly coat with butter.  Heat pan over medium heat.
  • Prep the bread. While the pan is heating, spread one side of each slice of bread with butter. Spread the pesto on the non-butter side of two slices of the bread and place in the pan, buttered side down.
  • Cook the eggs. While the bread starts to toast, crack the eggs into the pan and cook for 1 minute. Lightly pierce the yolk of each egg with the corner of a spatula.  Cook for an additional minute. Carefully flip the eggs. It's OK if they fold over slightly.  Cook for 1 more minute.
  • Finish the sandwiches.  Once the eggs are cooked, top each slice of bread with an egg, two slices of bacon and a slice of cheese. Place the additional slice of bread on the top of each sandwich, with the buttered side facing out. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and serve immediately.
