- bacon
- sausage
- hash browns
- 3 egg
- bun
- American cheese
- pepper, to taste
Preparation
- Step 1Place the bacon, sausage, and hash browns into a large, high-walled roasting pan over two stove burners.
- Step 2Arrange the hash browns in a single layer to ensure they become crispy.
- Step 3Cook the ingredients, allowing the hash browns to absorb the oil rendered from the sausage.
- Step 4Move the cooked sausage to the cooler section of the pan and place the American cheese on top to melt.
- Step 5Crack the eggs into the pan, using the walls of the pan to help shape them into squares.
- Step 6Season the eggs with pepper.
- Step 7Assemble the sandwiches using the buns, bacon, sausage, cheese, and eggs.
- Step 8 · 5 minutesWrap the sandwiches in tin foil and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Notes
- The sandwich is designed to be simple and symbiotic, meaning ingredients should be cooked together to share flavors.
- Use American cheese for the best melt and flavor profile.
- Avoid sausage links as they are encased and do not integrate well; use breakfast sausage patties.
- Wrapping the finished sandwich in tin foil and letting it rest for 5 minutes helps the flavors meld.
