Instructions
Cooking Bacon
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crisp, 3–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
- Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel and keep 1–2 teaspoons of bacon fat in the pan (or wipe and add butter).
Toasting the Roll
- Split the roll and toast cut-side down in the same skillet (or toaster) until golden, about 1–2 minutes.
Cooking the Egg
- In the skillet over medium-low to medium heat, add butter or bacon fat.
- Crack in the egg and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook sunny-side (2-3 minutes) or over-easy (flip and cook for 15-30 seconds).
- If you want the cheese extra melty, place the cheese on the egg during the last 30–60 seconds and cover the pan briefly.
Assembling the Sandwich
