Grilled Cheese and Fried Egg Sandwiches
Oh yeah, another one for the list, grilled cheese.
Eggs, cheese, bacon, bread – you can’t go wrong.
I had bacon so I used that in place of the pancetta.
Almost a three-way ting/yang symbol.
Building the sandwiches.
Topped with butted bread so I can flip them and get a nice toasted top.
Oh yeah!
Perfect for breakfast or lunch!

I’ve been enjoying eggs with all kinds of veggies underneath for over a year now – a marvelous way to eat eggs and get your veggies, too :).
PS – Bacon jam is the best thing ever! I make mine with bacon and sweet onions.

They have a croque monsieur in France which is a ham and chees sandwich where the cheese goes on top and is then the whole thing is grilled. If you put a fried egg on top of that what you have is a croque madame.
