Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 3 English muffins
- 3 tbsp Pesto (Homemade or Store Bought)
- 3 slices Gruyere Cheese
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your bacon. The oven method is easiest, lay strips of bacon on a foil lined baking sheet ½ inch apart. Place baking sheet in oven preheated to 400 degrees. Bake bacon for 15-20 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels and set aside.
- While your bacon is cooking, crack your eggs into a preheated pan over medium low to medium heat. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Cook eggs to desired doneness and flip. Once eggs are flipped add cheese to eggs and cover with a lid to melt cheese for about 2 minutes. At this time, you can turn the heat off.
- Toast English muffin or bread to desired doneness.
- Assemble sandwich, spread pesto on both sides of muffin or bread. Place egg and cheese on top. Then top with crispy cooked bacon. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe is extremely customizable, feel free to substitute your favorite breakfast meat, cheese, and bread. Prepare the eggs how you like. The lid trick really helps melt the cheese.
