So I'm a little tired (hungover) from last night and of course I decided to make something to get me going for the day. Well realistically I'll probably go back to bed after this. Last night I went to Galerie Lareuse in Georgetown because 2 of my friends had an art show. It was really cool and by the end turned into an aggressive pregame that led us basically getting kicked out. Anyways, it's been a rough morning so I decided to make a Bacon, Egg and Cheese sandwich with a big vitamin water to help stop my head from splitting in half.
The first step for all of this is making the bacon. For something like this, you should probably have 1 strip of bacon for every 2 eggs unless you are at my level you can add extra bacon. Bacon can be difficult to cook because you can burn it pretty easily if you aren't paying attention, so pay attention to get something beautiful like this...
While waiting for the bacon to cool down, get the eggs going. In a mixing bowl, crack 4 eggs into it with a splash of milk.
You need a little milk because it brings the eggs to a good consistency. After you mix it up with a fork, break up the bacon and add it to the egg mixture. This is my special trick for making a great BEC because adding the bacon to the egg will ensure that every bite you get will have bacon in it and it makes the eggs taste awesome. So stir in the bacon and dump it all into a hot skillet that has some melted butter in it. The skillet should initially be hot but turn it down to medium-low heat when you're cooking the eggs so you don't burn them.
Once you add the egg mixture to the skillet, wait a sec and let it cook. Basically, don't touch it for about 15-30secs. After that, stir the egg mixture and slowly cook the eggs until this is the end result.
If you can tell I forgot to add butter to the skillet so some of it stuck to the bottom of the pan. Whatever, still good. So after this, add a little pepper to the eggs and toast up an english muffin. Once you got that all in order put some of the egg/bacon onto the english muffin.
Now let's get to the important part... CHEESE. I suggest using shredded cheese because it melts faster and looks so awesome. Like this...
BOOM. So between the warm english muffin and warm eggs/bacon, the cheese should melt up pretty nicely without you having to microwave it. You can live on the wild side like me and add some Sriracha sauce on top of all of this to add a kick of deliciousness.
BOOM. This is getting awesome. So that's basically it, go nuts and savor this beauty.
Don't forget the Vitamin Water, I suggest the "revive" flavor because it brings you back to life. All of this should make about 2 BEC sammies. OR you could put all of this onto a tortilla and make a solid breakfast burrito. I almost did that... well I'll probably do that right now because I have some eggs/bacon left over. Sonic commercials get me every time.
