Tips

  • If you don't have smoked paprika, you can skip it, but it adds a smoky depth.
  • Variations include using sausage, ham, or tomato instead of bacon.
  • Other cheese options are goat cheese, gouda, or spicy pepperjack.
  • Brioche buns can be swapped for toasted white bread, a croissant, or a toasted bagel.
  • Serve with a mimosa or hot sauce michelada for hangovers, or kale juice for a healthier option.
  • For a big breakfast or brunch spread, consider easy puff pastry cinnamon buns or salted caramel churro french toast.
  • For savory breakfast ideas, try Dishoom's bacon naan breakfast sandwich or Japanese Egg Salad Sandwich.
  • There's an Instagram reel showing how to assemble the sandwich.
  • Wipe out the pan after cooking bacon and again after cooking eggs to prepare for toasting buns.
  • The eggs are done when they're slightly set and firm yet wet, glossy, and fluffy looking.
  • Smear 1 tablespoon of spicy mayo on the bottom bun and more onto the top half of the bun.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
