Why This Breakfast Classic Hits the Spot
American dishes are known for their rich flavors, and this American-inspired sandwich is no exception. Here are the top features of this recipe:

Perfect for breakfast or a snack

Ingredients for the Perfect Bacon, Egg, and Cheese
Simple ingredients, but full of flavor. Here’s what you’ll need:
Bread – Use soft Žito Special Toast with a dense center that toasts beautifully and creates the perfect exterior for our sandwich.
Eggs – Used to make a fluffy omelet.
Bacon – Choose any bacon you like, but make sure it’s sliced very thinly.
Cheese – The key is that the cheese melts well, so go for Edam, Gouda, or Cheddar.
Tomato – Adds freshness, color, and flavor.
Storing
Always prepare the sandwich fresh; we do not recommend storing it.

METHOD
-
bacon
Place the pan over medium heat (without adding any fat). Add the bacon to the center of the pan and cook it for about 5 minutes until it turns golden brown, flipping it once halfway through. Place two slices of cheese on top of the bacon.
-
eggs
Beat the eggs in a bowl and lightly season with salt and pepper. Pour the beaten eggs around the bacon and cheese in the pan. Cook until the eggs start to set slightly, about 30 to 60 seconds. Gently stir the eggs while cooking to ensure they cook evenly.

Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich
Place two slices of toast on top of the bacon and cheese, fully covering them. Fold the edges of the egg over the toast. Add the tomato, then close the sandwich so that the toast is on both the top and bottom. Add some butter to the pan and grill the sandwich until golden brown on both sides. Serve immediately.
