Grilled Cheese with Bacon, Tomato, and Egg

Short post today because I am typing one-handed while holding a baby.

These were good. Decadent, but nice as a once-in-a-while treat.


Grilled Cheese with Bacon, Tomato, and Egg

From The Breakfast Bible by Kate McMillan

Ingredients (per sandwich)

  • 2 slices of streaky bacon
  • 1 large egg
  • freshly ground pepper
  • 2 slices of bread
  • 4-8 thin slices of cheese
  • 2-3 slices of tomato
  • butter or margerine

Directions

  1. Cook bacon until crispy, then cut in half crosswise.
  2. Season egg to taste with pepper and fry until whites are set and yolk is thickened.
  3. Layer half of the cheese onto a slice of bread.
  4. Top with bacon, tomato, egg, the remaining cheese, and the other slice of bread.
  5. Butter the outside of the sandwich.
  6. Grill in a panini press or a frying pan with a heavy weight compessing the sandwich. If using a frying pan, flip to toast the other side.
  7. Once both sides are golden brown, remove from pan and cut in half.
