Ingredients
2 slices bacon
2 large eggs
1 slice sharp Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons strawberry jam
2 slices sandwich bread
Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Directions
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the bacon slices and cook, turning occasionally, until they reach your preferred level of crispness, about 8–10 minutes.
Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
Carefully pour off most of the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving approximately 2 tablespoons in the pan. Increase the heat to medium.
Crack both eggs directly into the hot skillet and season with freshly cracked black pepper. Fry until the egg whites are completely set and the yolks are just barely cooked through, about 3–4 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 160°F.
While the eggs finish cooking, toast both bread slices in a toaster until they achieve a light golden-brown color.
Immediately spread the strawberry jam on one slice of the warm toast. Place the sharp Cheddar cheese slice on the other piece of toast, where it will begin to soften from the residual heat.
Layer the crispy bacon on top of the cheese slice, then carefully place the cooked eggs directly on the bacon.
Top the eggs with the second slice of bread (the one with jam), pressing down gently so the layers stay together. Slice the sandwich diagonally if desired and serve immediately while still warm.
