🍳 Ingredients (Makes 2 big sandwiches)
4 large eggs
6–8 slices of bacon
4 slices of your favorite bread (brioche, sourdough, or English muffins work great)
4 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or Swiss)
2 tablespoons butter (for toasting)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional add-ons:
Sliced avocado
Tomato slices
Baby spinach
Hot sauce or mayo
👩🍳 Instructions
- Cook the Bacon
Place bacon strips in a cold skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook until crispy, turning occasionally.
Once done, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Keep about a teaspoon of bacon fat in the pan for extra flavor!
- Toast the Bread
Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Toast them in a skillet (buttered side down) until golden brown, or use a toaster if you prefer a quicker option.
- Cook the Eggs
In the same skillet (with a little bacon fat), crack in the eggs.
For a classic sandwich, cook the eggs over medium — firm whites with slightly runny yolks.
For a neater, hand-held version, scramble the eggs and cook them folded like an omelet.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Monster Sandwich
Now comes the fun part!
Layer in this order (bottom to top):
- Toasted bread slice
- Slice of cheese (so it melts slightly)
- Crispy bacon strips
- Fried egg (or folded scrambled egg)
- Another slice of cheese
- Optional add-ons like avocado or tomato
- Top bread slice
Press lightly to hold everything together — the cheese will help seal it into a gooey, glorious stack.
- Optional – Melt It All Together
For an extra indulgent touch, return the assembled sandwich to the skillet over low heat for about 1 minute per side. This helps the cheese melt and everything stick together perfectly.
🧀 Serving Suggestions
Serve with hash browns, home fries, or a fresh fruit cup.
Pair with a cup of coffee, iced latte, or orange juice for a perfect breakfast combo.
For on-the-go mornings, wrap it in foil to keep it warm and easy to handle.
🧊 Storage & Reheating
Refrigerate: Store any leftover sandwiches (wrapped tightly) in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat: Warm in a skillet or oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes — it’ll taste just as fresh as day one!
💡 Pro Tips
Use brioche buns for extra richness and softness.
Want to go all out? Add a hash brown patty or grilled sausage in the middle.
For a lighter version, use turkey bacon, egg whites, and whole-grain bread.
Melt a little butter with maple syrup and brush it over the top for a sweet-savory twist!
