Best Bacon & Egg Breakfast Grilled Cheese Recipe (2024)

FAQs

Is a bacon egg and cheese sandwich healthy for breakfast? ›

Eating a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich every morning can certainly be delicious and provide you with a burst of energy to start your day, chiefly due to its high content of protein and fat.

Using a cast iron-pan, add a touch of olive oil and get pan hot over medium-high heat and add sandwich. After about 30-45 second push sandwich so it crisps and cheese melts. Flip after about 2 minutes, once slices are nice and crunchy. Keep flipping and pushing down until cheese is melted.

According to research out of the University of Missouri-Columbia, getting a high-protein meal like bacon and eggs first thing in the morning is key to staying healthy. Whereas skipping breakfast can lead to obesity, actually eating a morning meal (particularly one rich in protein) releases dopamine to your brain.

For example, eggs typically are eaten with other foods high in salt, saturated fat and cholesterol, such as bacon, cheese and butter. These foods are known to increase heart disease risk and should be eaten sparingly. Most healthy people can eat up to seven eggs a week without affecting their heart health.

An egg and cheese sandwich today usually tallies about 300 to 350 calories. That leaves room to include a piece of fruit, either from a restaurant or at home, to deliver a balanced meal within the 400 to 425 calorie range that meets the needs of most adults.

HEAT: Microwave on HIGH 45 seconds or until hot. Let stand 1 minute. Enjoy!

Can I air fry a pre-frozen breakfast sandwich? Yes! If you happen to buy a pack of frozen breakfast sandwiches (such as Jimmy Dean) simply separate it into two halves (sausage on one side, egg on the other), add any other toppings you want and air fry for about 8 minutes!

Place sandwiches in skillet (in two batches, if needed). Reduce heat to medium-low; gently top sandwiches with a lid slightly smaller than skillet for even cooking. Cook, flipping once halfway through, until crisp and golden on both sides and cheese is melted, 7 to 9 minutes. Serve immediately.

What is the best cheese mix for grilled cheese? ›

Cheese options – For the best grilled cheese, you want to use a combination of mozzarella (for its cheese pull and non-greasy melting qualities) with a flavoured cheese – because mozzarella actually has a very mild flavour. A good vintage cheddar or gruyere are my absolute favourites.

Butter - Keep it simple with a swipe or two of melted butter. Mayo - Perfect on its own, or mix it with other condiments. Hot Sauce - This is my favorite condiment for my fried eggs sandwiches.

My personal recipe for a fried egg sandwich is butter some toast put a little mayo on both sides, then add a slice of cheddar or pepper jack cheese to each side, fry up an egg with salt and pepper on it and slap the sandwich together, oh if you want add some extra protein you always add some bacon or cooked ham slices.

Generously spread a thin layer of mayo on one side of a slice of bread. Place bread butter-side-down onto skillet bottom and add ¼ cup of grated cheese, three strips of bacon, and sliced hardboiled eggs.
