Bacon Melt Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

2. 2

   Fry the Egg

   In the same skillet, crack the egg and cook it to your desired doneness (sunny side up, over easy, etc.). Season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Prepare Jalapeno

   Slice the jalapeno pepper thinly. Remove seeds for less heat if desired.

4. 4

   Assemble the Melt

   Spread chive mascarpone cheese on one slice of ciabatta. Layer with crispy bacon, gouda cheese, jalapeno slices, and the fried egg. Spread spicy aioli on the other slice of ciabatta.

5. 5

   Grill the Sandwich

   Heat the skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve with fruit or potatoes on the side.
