How to Make the Bacon & Egg Sandwich
1. Cook the Bacon
Heat a skillet over medium heat.
Add the bacon and cook until crispy and golden. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
2. Cook the Eggs
Add a little ghee to the skillet.
Crack in the eggs and season with salt and black pepper.
Cook until the eggs are set to your preferred doneness. For a sandwich, keeping the yolk slightly soft can add extra richness.
3. Toast the Bread
Lightly spread or brush the bread with ghee.
Toast the slices in the skillet until golden and lightly crisp on both sides.
4. Assemble the Sandwich
Spread tomato sauce over one slice of toasted bread.
Add the cooked eggs, followed by the cheese slice and crispy bacon.
Drizzle or spread mustard over the filling according to your taste.
Top with the second slice of toasted bread.
5. Serve
Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately while the bread is warm and the cheese is soft.
Helpful Tips
- Cook the bacon until your preferred level of crispiness.

- Toasting the bread in ghee gives it a delicious buttery flavor.
- Add the cheese while the eggs are still hot so it melts slightly.
