This gourmet breakfast sandwich combines crispy strawberry-glazed bacon, creamy Brie cheese, fresh peppery arugula, and a soft fried egg all layered on a toasted brioche bun for a deliciously indulgent morning meal.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

Bacon and Glaze

  • 4 slices bacon
  • 2 tbsp strawberry jam

Sandwich Components

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 brioche buns, toasted
  • 2 oz Brie cheese, sliced
  • Handful of arugula
  • Butter, for cooking eggs

Instructions

  1. Cook Bacon: Place the bacon slices in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat until crisp and browned. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels.
  2. Glaze Bacon: Brush each slice of cooked bacon generously with strawberry jam. Return the glazed bacon to the skillet over low heat for about 1-2 minutes to warm and set the glaze without burning.
  3. Fry Eggs: In the same skillet, add a small amount of butter over medium heat. Crack in the eggs and cook to your desired doneness, whether sunny side up, over easy, or fully cooked through.
  4. Assemble Sandwiches: Place a toasted brioche bun bottom on a plate. Layer on the fried egg, slices of Brie cheese, a handful of fresh arugula, and the strawberry-glazed bacon. Top with the remaining bun.
  5. Serve: Serve the breakfast sandwiches immediately while the Brie is warm and slightly melty for the best flavor experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute sourdough bread for brioche if preferred, for a different texture and flavor.
  • Brie cheese melts best when warm, so assemble sandwiches just before serving.
  • Adjust cooking times for eggs according to your preferred doneness.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and consider adding grilled mushrooms or avocado as a substitute.
