Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Bacon — For extra crispiness, bake the bacon in the oven instead of frying it.
  • Eggs — Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Bread rolls — Choose soft and slightly chewy bread rolls to complement the crispy bacon and creamy egg.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a twist, add a slice of cheese or a dollop of mayonnaise to the sandwich.
  • Experiment with different types of bread rolls, such as brioche or whole wheat.
  • If you prefer your eggs fully cooked, fry them until the yolks are firm.
  • Serve with a side of ketchup or hot sauce for an extra kick.
  • To make it a heartier meal, add some sliced avocado or tomato to the sandwich.
