Oh my goodness, girlfriends! Let me tell you about this breakfast sandwich that literally had my family fighting over the last bite. It’s my secret weapon for those hectic mornings when you want something Instagram-worthy but don’t have time for a full-blown brunch production.
Let’s get real – we’ve all had those drive-thru breakfast sandwiches that leave us feeling… meh. But this homemade version? It’s going to make you feel like a breakfast queen without breaking a sweat!
Here’s what you’ll need for this life-changing sandwich:
– 2 slices of brioche bread (trust me on this one)
– 2 farm-fresh eggs
– 3 crispy bacon strips
– 1 slice of sharp cheddar cheese
– 1 tablespoon butter
– A sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning
– Optional: sliced avocado (because we’re fancy like that)
Now, let me walk you through this magic, honey!
1. First, get that bacon nice and crispy. I like to bake mine at 400°F for about 15-18 minutes because who has time to dodge bacon grease splatters this early?
1. While your bacon is doing its thing, beat those eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pro tip: add a splash of heavy cream if you’re feeling extra indulgent (I won’t tell anyone! 😉)
(Hey loves! If you’re enjoying this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for daily doses of deliciousness like this one! I share new recipes every day that’ll make your taste buds dance!)
1. Melt butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat and pour in your egg mixture. Fold it gently as it cooks – we’re going for fluffy clouds here, not rubber!
1. Toast your brioche slices until they’re golden brown. The smell alone will wake up your entire household!
1. Now for the assembly (my favorite part!): Layer bottom bread slice, eggs, bacon, cheese, and avocado if using. Sprinkle that everything bagel seasoning like you’re making it rain, and top with the second slice.
1. Optional but recommended: Press the sandwich in the pan for 30 seconds on each side to get that cheese all melty and gorgeous.
Y’all, when I tell you this sandwich is better than therapy… I mean, just look at that cheese pull! It’s like a warm hug for your soul, but make it breakfast.
The best part? You can prep the bacon the night before if you’re really trying to save time in the morning. Work smarter, not harder, right?

P.S. Sometimes I add a drizzle of hot honey because I’m spicy like that. Just saying! 😘
