Equipment

  • 1 Frying Pan
  • 1 Sharp Knife

Ingredients

  • 1 Krispy Kreme doughnut
  • 2 slices bacon
  • 1 egg
  • 1 slice cheese of your choice American, cheddar, or Swiss recommended
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Doughnut — Take a completely cooled Krispy Kreme doughnut. (Fresh, warm doughnuts are too soft to cut cleanly.) Carefully cut the doughnut in half horizontally to create your sandwich bun.
  • Cook the Bacon — Place two strips of bacon on paper towels on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with another paper towel and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Perfectly crispy every time. (Note: Adjust time by 30 seconds if needed for your microwave.)
  • Fry the Egg — Fry one egg in a skillet. Break the yolk to create a solid egg platform. Cook until firm (hard yolk is recommended for breakfast sandwiches).
  • Fold Egg and Add Toppings — Fold the cooked egg into a square shape. Place the crispy bacon on top, then layer the cheese slice on top of the bacon.
  • Melt the Cheese — Add a couple of drops of water to the pan and cover it. The steam will melt the cheese perfectly while keeping the egg warm.
  • Assemble the Sandwich — Place the egg, bacon, and cheese mixture on the bottom half of the doughnut.
  • Top and Serve — Top with the other half of the doughnut. Enjoy immediately while warm. Don't worry about the calories—this is a once-in-a-while indulgence!

Notes

This is the ultimate sweet and savory combination. Use completely cooled doughnuts for easy cutting. The microwave method for bacon is foolproof and quick. The steam method for melting cheese keeps everything at the perfect temperature. Despite the high calories, this sandwich is worth the indulgence. Enjoy it as an occasional treat. — Rex
