QUICK AND EASY BACON, EGG AND CHEESE

Quick and Easy Bacon, Egg and Cheese image

Any New Yorker will tell you a good bacon, egg and cheese (BEC) sandwich is the best way to start your day, and most likely you already have everything you need in your pantry to whip one up. The key elements to a great BEC are the melted cheese, scrambled egg that nestles perfectly onto the bread without falling off and salty crispy bacon. To make sure the cheese stays melted, we fold it into the center of the eggs just as they finish cooking so it stays warm. We found that by preparing eggs like an omelet ''package'' instead of scrambling them and topping them with cheese allowed us to adjust the size of our eggs to perfectly fit the size of our bread and hold our cheese in the ideal melted state. When you can't get to your corner deli or coffee cart, you can whip up this breakfast icon in the time it takes to walk out the door.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 large eggs
2 tablespoons whole milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 slices sharp Cheddar cheese, about 1 ounce (see Cook's Note)
2 slices cooked bacon (see Cook's Note)
2 slices toasted white bread or 1 kaiser roll, split

Steps:

Whisk the eggs, milk, a pinch of salt and a couple of grinds of black pepper in a small bowl until smooth and combined. Heat the vegetable in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Once the skillet is warm, pour the egg mixture in and allow it to cook undisturbed until the edges are set, about 1 minute. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the egg and allow the uncooked egg to run underneath. Once the egg is fully set, about 4 minutes, place the slices of cheese in the center of the egg. Carefully lift each side of the egg and folder it over the cheese to form a square package about the size of your toasted bread. Flip the eggs over gently, keeping the package intact, and allow the folded side to cook and melt the cheese, about 30 seconds more.
Assemble the sandwich by layering the bacon on 1 slice of toast and then topping with the warm eggs. Top with the remaining slice of toast and serve immediately.

BACON, EGG AND CHEESE SANDWICH

Bacon, Egg and Cheese Sandwich image

For Millie Peartree, a chef and lifelong New Yorker, the bacon, egg and cheese "is everything you need: salty, crunchy, creamy, filling." Because the iconic New York sandwich (which is also known as a "baconeggandcheese" or "B.E.C." when you're in a hurry), is made at thousands of carts and bodegas in all five boroughs, many locals wouldn't think to cook one at home. But if you're desperate for the resuscitation only a B.E.C. can provide, this homestyle adaptation delivers: gooey cheese, crispy bacon and eggs smushed between a buttered roll then wrapped tightly in foil. The only in-person experience you'll miss is waving goodbye to the bodega's owner and cat.

Time 20m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

Unsalted butter, as needed
1 kaiser roll, split (or 1 bagel, split, or 2 slices of bread, toasted and buttered)
3 slices beef, pork or turkey bacon (not thick-cut), halved crosswise
2 large eggs, beaten with a fork
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 slices American cheese
Ketchup and/or hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

Bring a large piece of parchment paper or foil to the stove. Heat a medium (10-inch) nonstick skillet over medium. Grease the skillet generously with butter. Place one side of the roll in the skillet, cut-side down, and toast until golden, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the toasted half to the parchment, cut-side up. Repeat with more butter and the other half of the roll. (The second side will take less time, as the pan gets hotter.)
If you're using beef or turkey bacon, add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. Add the bacon and cook over medium until browned and crisp, 2 to 4 minutes per side. As the bacon cooks, press it down with a spatula. (This helps the fat render, producing crunchier bacon.) Turn off the heat and transfer the bacon to the bottom roll. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat.
Pour the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper and set over medium-low. Using a spatula, pull the egg toward the center and tilt the skillet so the egg runs to the empty part of the skillet. Repeat this all around until the surface of the egg is no longer runny but still shiny. Add the cheese on the top, tearing into smaller pieces for even coverage. Cook, undisturbed, until the top of the egg is matte, just a minute. Remove from heat, fold the egg in half, and then in half again. Transfer to the bottom roll.
Add ketchup and hot sauce as desired, then add the top roll and press down. Wrap in the parchment, smush again, and let sit for a couple minutes for all the elements to steam together. Cut in half and eat.

Tips:

To save time, pre-cook your bacon and eggs ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. This will make assembling your bread boxes much quicker.
If you don't have a bread loaf pan, you can use a regular baking dish instead. Just be sure to grease and flour the dish before adding the bread dough.
Feel free to get creative with your fillings. You can add other ingredients to your bread boxes, such as cooked sausage, diced ham, shredded cheese, or chopped vegetables.
To make your bread boxes even more delicious, brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before baking.
Serve your bread boxes warm with your favorite sides, such as fruit salad, yogurt, or a green salad.

Whether you like your eggs scrambled, over easy, or fried, and your cheese melted or gooey, there's a bread box recipe out there for you.
