For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a thin spread of mayonnaise or a drizzle of hot sauce to the Kaiser roll before adding the egg. If you prefer a runnier egg, reduce the cooking time slightly. For a firmer egg, cook a bit longer. Feel free to substitute the American cheese with your favorite melting cheese, such as cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack. For a healthier option, use turkey bacon or Canadian bacon.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
10 mins
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, approximately 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
02
Step
3 mins
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over low heat. Place the Kaiser rolls, cut-side down, in the melted butter and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
03
Step
3 mins
For each sandwich, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Pour half of the whisked eggs into the pan. Cook, gently pushing the cooked edges towards the center to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath, about 2-3 minutes. This creates a soft, layered egg.
04
Step
1 mins
Once the egg is almost set, layer 1 slice of cheese, 2 strips of bacon, and the remaining slice of cheese onto one half of the egg. Fold the other half of the egg over the top.
05
Step
2 mins
Carefully transfer the folded egg and cheese to a toasted Kaiser roll. Wrap the sandwich in foil to trap the heat and steam the cheese for about 1-2 minutes. This ensures a perfectly melted, gooey center.
06
StepSlice the sandwich in half and serve immediately with ketchup and hot sauce, if desired.
