Bacon, Egg, and Pepperjack Breakfast Sandwiches
Homecooked bacon, egg, and pepperjack breakfast sandwiches ready in 10 minutes or less — a quick, freezer-friendly recipe the whole family will look forward too!
Ingredients
- 1 Egg
- 3 pieces of Bacon, thick cut works best
- 1 slice of Pepperjack cheese
- 1 Croissant, day old
Instructions
- Start by heating your pan over medium-low heat. Once warm, gently crack your egg over the pre-warmed pan and use a spatula to help push the edges back and maintain its shape. (Or if you have one of those fancy egg ring molds, use that!) Cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through. *If meal prepping, try the sheet pan method listed above in the Meal Prep notes.
- If you have a big enough pan, once your egg is flipped, push off to one side and lay your 3 pieces of bacon down to begin cooking while your egg finishes. (Do NOT increase the heat!) Once your egg is cooked, place your pepperjack cheese on top of the egg till melted and set to the side.
- Cook your bacon for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden & crispy. Place onto a paper towel, I like to fold mine in half to make it fit nicer, and let the excess oil soak into the paper towel while the bacon is cooling.
- While the bacon cooks, slice your croissant in half - and you can do one of two things. If you like a real crisp, flaky outer croissant, toast in your toaster for a couple minutes. Other method - once your bacon is done (and the bacon grease is removed), throw a pat of butter on the pan and put your croissant inside down and let sit for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast the inside.
- Once everything is done, construct your delicious breakfast sandwich and enjoy!
Notes
To meal prep: Cook a big batch of bacon and eggs (I like doing scrambled eggs in a sheet pan in the oven for this — way faster than standing at the stove for six eggs one at a time). Assemble the sandwiches fully, cheese and all, then let them cool completely before wrapping.
(Roughly 3 pieces of bacon per sandwich. If you're prepping say 6 sandwiches, you would need around 18 pieces of bacon.)
