OPEN-FACED BACON AND EGG SANDWICHES WITH ARUGULA



Open-Faced Bacon and Egg Sandwiches with Arugula image

Categories     Bread     Sandwich     Egg     Breakfast     Brunch     Side     Bacon     Arugula

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 bacon slices, halved crosswise
1 (4-inch) square ciabatta bread or focaccia, halved horizontally
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 large thin tomato slices
1 small shallot, chopped
1/2 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1 cup (packed) arugula
2 large eggs
Parmesan cheese shavings, for serving

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until brown and crisp; transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Wipe out skillet. Brush the cut sides of the bread with 1 tablespoon oil. Place the bread cut side down in the skillet. Cook over medium heat until golden, about 3 minutes. Place 1 bread square, golden side up, on each of 2 plates. Top each with half of the bacon, then 2 tomato slices.
  • Whisk 1 tablespoon of oil, the shallot, and vinegar in a medium bowl to blend. Season the dressing with salt and pepper. Add the arugula and toss to coat.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked as desired. Top each bread stack with arugula, egg, and cheese.

Tips:

  • Fresh Ingredients: Begin with the freshest ingredients for the best results. Use free-range eggs, high-quality mayonnaise, and flavorful bread.
  • Cook Eggs Properly: Cook the eggs over medium heat to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. Medium heat creates a creamy and fluffy texture.
  • Choose Your Bread Wisely: Select a sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings without getting soggy. Sourdough, whole wheat, or a hearty multigrain bread are excellent choices.
  • Generous Spread: Don't be shy with the mayonnaise or any other spread you use. A generous layer adds richness and flavor to the sandwich.
  • Season Wisely: Season the eggs liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings like paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder to taste.
  • Pile High the Fillings: Load up your sandwich with a variety of toppings. Consider crispy bacon, ripe avocado, juicy tomatoes, or peppery arugula.
  • Fresh Herbs: Incorporate fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill to add a burst of flavor and color to your sandwich.

Conclusion:

Open-faced egg sandwiches offer a versatile and satisfying meal option for breakfast, lunch, or even dinner. With endless variations and customization possibilities, you can cater to different tastes and preferences. Experiment with various breads, fillings, and toppings to create your perfect open-faced egg sandwich. Remember to use fresh ingredients, cook the eggs properly, and season everything generously for a delightful culinary experience.
