Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

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

  2. 2

    Fry the Egg

    In the same skillet, crack the egg and cook it sunny-side up or to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer the smoked Gouda and Monterey Jack cheeses, followed by the cooked bacon, fried egg, spring mix, and sliced tomato.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up. Heat the skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwich until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once grilled to perfection, remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately.
