Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich
- 4 brioche buns, split and lightly toasted
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup whole milk or heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked until crisp
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Sriracha Mayo Sauce
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Whisk the Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy for fluffiness.
- Cook the Eggs: Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook slowly, gently stirring with a spatula to create soft scrambled eggs. Cook just until set but still creamy to achieve a tender texture.
- Incorporate Cheese: Remove the pan from heat and fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt into the warm eggs evenly.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a generous amount of the prepared sriracha mayo on the cut sides of the toasted brioche buns. Divide the cheesy scrambled eggs evenly among the bottom buns, top each with two slices of crispy bacon and a sprinkle of chopped fresh chives. Close with the top buns.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the sandwiches hot for the best experience, enjoying the combination of creamy eggs, spicy sauce, and crispy bacon.
Notes
- Cook the eggs on low heat and stir gently for the creamiest, most tender texture.
- Use soft brioche buns for an authentic, rich flavor and texture.
- Choose high-quality sharp cheddar cheese for depth of flavor.
- Adjust sriracha in the mayo sauce to your preferred spice level.
- Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the sandwich at its freshest.
