Ingredients

  • 2 slice bread slices
  • 2 strip bacon strips
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 leaf lettuce leaves
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the 2 bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

  2. 2

    Pour out most of the bacon fat, leaving about 1 tsp in the skillet. Crack the 1 egg into the skillet and cook over medium heat until the white is set and the yolk is cooked to your liking, about 3-4 minutes. Season with the 1 pinch salt and 1 pinch black pepper.

  3. 3

    While the egg cooks, toast the 2 bread slices in a toaster or under the broiler until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Spread the 1 tbsp mayonnaise evenly over one side of each toasted bread slice.

  5. 5

    Place the 2 lettuce leaves on one slice of bread, then top with the cooked bacon and the fried egg.

  6. 6

    Close the sandwich with the other bread slice, mayonnaise side down. Slice in half and serve immediately.
