Ingredients

18-24 slices bacon thick-cut is best
6 eggs
12 slices bread soft white is best
4 tablespoon mayonnaise
3 large tomatoes romas, heirlooms, or on-the-vine
6 pieces lettuce iceberg, romaine, butterhead, mixed greens, or spinach

Other Optional Toppings

avocado, cheese, sliced onion, mustard, candied bacon, aoili

Instructions

Ingredient Prep

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment or foil. Line bacon on sheet pan, alternating wide and narrow ends. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until it reaches desired crispiness (thin-cut bacon will take less time).
18-24 slices bacon
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with non-stick spray. Fry eggs to desired doneness. Salt and pepper lightly for flavor. (For sheet pan cooking option, see notes).
6 eggs
To prepare the rest of the components, toast the bread, slice the tomatoes thinly, and wash and dry the lettuce.
12 slices bread, 3 large tomatoes, 6 pieces lettuce

Assembly

Spread thin layer of mayo on 6 slices of bread (about 2 teaspoon on each slice). Arrange lettuce, tomato, and thick layer of bacon on top. Add fried egg and any additional (optional) toppings. Top with remaining slices of bread and serve.
4 tablespoon mayonnaise, avocado, cheese, sliced onion, mustard, candied bacon, aoili

Tips & Tricks

The difference between a good sandwich and a great one is in the quality of ingredients. Choose soft, moist bread. Buy high-quality, thick-cut bacon. Fresh, flavorful lettuce and tomatoes will go a long way in elevating the flavor. Go for quality and you won’t be disappointed!

Sheet Pan Eggs

Place sheet pan in 400° oven and allow to get hot for 5-8 minutes. Once hot, remove from oven and spray with non stick spray. Crack your eggs directly onto the pan, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 5-6 minutes. Check them often in the last few minutes and take them out once they’ve reached the desired doneness.
