Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Sandwich Components
- 1 soft brioche bun, toasted
- 2 slices crispy bacon or plant-based alternative
- 1/4 avocado, sliced
- 1 tablespoon caramelized onions
- 1 slice sharp cheddar cheese
- Hot sauce or sriracha, optional
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring slowly to form soft, creamy scrambled eggs. Be careful not to overcook; the eggs should be just-set and moist.
- Toast the Brioche Bun: While the eggs cook, toast the brioche bun halves until golden brown to add texture and warmth to the sandwich.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place the slice of sharp cheddar cheese on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Add the warm scrambled eggs on top so the cheese melts slightly. Layer the crispy bacon, avocado slices, and caramelized onions over the eggs.
- Add Finishing Touches: Drizzle with hot sauce or sriracha if desired for a spicy kick. Top with the remaining half of the bun and serve the sandwich immediately while warm.
Notes
- To make this sandwich vegetarian, omit the bacon or substitute with a plant-based bacon alternative.
- The scrambled eggs should be softly cooked for the best creamy texture.
- Caramelized onions can be prepared in advance and refrigerated to speed up the assembly process.
- Use freshly toasted brioche buns for optimal flavor and texture.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to your taste preference.
