The Breakfast Club was one of my favourite movies growing up. After my sister and I watched it for the thousandth and then the millionth time, we would actually recreate scenes in our living room, pretending to be Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy. This Breakfast Club is a bit different than both the film and our Oscar-worthy recreations, but feel free to recite lines from the movie while you’re assembling this breakfast sandwich. I know I couldn’t help singing “(Don’t You) Forget About Me“.
Ingredients:
- 3 pieces of rye bread
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 2 eggs
- 3 slices of bacon
- 2 thin slices of Cheddar cheese
- 3 thin slices of tomato
- Salt
- Pepper
Directions:
1.) Toast the three slices of rye bread and butter.
2.) Place 3 pieces of bacon in a frying pan set over medium heat and fry until crispy. Then move to paper towels to drain.
3.) Place the frying pan back over medium heat and carefully add them to the pan, leaving whole. You’re going to cook the eggs to over-hard so cook for about 4 minutes on one side, until the bottoms are fully set and the top of the white is just beginning to set. Carefully flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the yolks are fully cooked. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
4.) Assemble the breakfast club. On one piece of rye, butter-side up, place the tomato slices, lightly seasoning them with salt and pepper. Place another piece of rye on top of the tomatoes and then add the cheese, the eggs, and the bacon. Top with the last piece of rye bread, butter-side down.
5.) Cut the sandwich in half, then serve and enjoy!
