Bacon And Egg Breakfast Grilled Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lay the bacon slices on a rack set over a baking sheet. Bake until the fat starts to render, about 10 minutes.
• Baste the bacon on both sides with the maple syrup and continue to bake until caramelized and the edges just start to brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let cool on the rack, about 5 minutes. When cool, cut them in half.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry until thoroughly set, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Put 4 slices of the bread on a work surface. Layer each with 1 whole slice of the cheese, 3 pieces of the bacon, 1/4 slice of the cheese and 1 egg and another whole slice of cheese. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread. Thinly and evenly spread the remaining butter on both sides of the bread using about 1 1/2 tablespoons for each sandwich.
• Place 2 sandwiches into the same skillet over medium heat. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the bread is evenly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook, uncovered, until the bread is golden brown and cheese is visibly melted, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.

Steps:

• Toss cubed bread with bacon, cheese, and mushrooms, and pour into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Whisk together eggs, half-and-half, and mustard until smooth, then pour evenly over cubed bread. Cover dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Remove plastic wrap from the baking dish, and bake strata in preheated oven until the top is golden brown, and the eggs are set, about 1 hour. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in eggs; cook, stirring often with a spatula, until soft and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove cinnamon rolls from the packaging. Stand each roll on its side and press down into a rectangle, trapping the cinnamon sugar layers. Roll each rectangle into a thin 6-inch circle.
• Spread 1 tablespoon cream cheese over each circle of dough. Layer 1/4 cup scrambled egg, 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese, and 1 tablespoon bacon pieces on top. Bring dough up and over the filling, pinching edges together to enclose filling completely.
• Place rolls seam-side down in the prepared pie plate.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small microwave-safe bowl until melted, about 10 seconds. Brush over rolls. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven, rotating halfway, until rolls are a deep golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Transfer pie plate to a wire rack; let rolls cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• See cooking notes below.
• Beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper in bowl until blended.
• Heat 1 teaspoon butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Pour in egg mixture. As eggs begin to set, gently pull the eggs across the pan, forming large soft curds. Continue cooking, pulling, lifting and folding eggs until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains. Do not stir constantly. Remove from pan. Clean skillet.
• Spread remaining 2 teaspoons butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. Place 2 slices in skillet, buttered side down. Top evenly with scrambled eggs, cheese and bacon. Cover with remaining bread, buttered side up.
• Grill sandwiches over medium heat, turning once, until bread is toasted and cheese is melted, 2 to 4 minutes.
• COOKING NOTES:.
• Avoid cast iron. Eggs scrambled in a cast iron skillet can turn a greenish shade. This harmless but unappealing color change is the result of a chemical reaction between iron in the pan and sulfur in egg whites.
• Don't overcook. The heat retained in the pan will continue to cook and firm up the eggs after pan is removed from heat.
• How long to beat is a matter of preference. Light beating produces more dense scrambled eggs. Vigorous beating aerates the eggs, resulting in lighter fluffier curds.

Steps:

• Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water. Bring to a rolling boil and gently add the whole eggs. Boil for 9 minutes then immediately transfer to a bowl of icy water to stop the cooking. Let the eggs cool completely, then peel and set aside.
• Place a large piece of parchment on your work surface. Arrange 8 bacon slices horizontally on the parchment. The edges of the slices should touch but not overlap. Working with the remaining 7 slices and stretching each slightly to make it the length of the 8 slices, weave the bacon in an over-under pattern to create a woven lattice design.
• Turn the parchment paper so that one of the short sides is in front of you. Using your hands, spread and press half the sausage in an even layer over the bacon. Next, lay 4 slices of ham on top of the sausage, overlapping the pieces slightly and leaving a 1-inch border around the edge between the sausage and ham. Cover the ham with the American cheese slices in a single layer, overlapping the cheese slightly if needed. Cover the cheese with another layer of ham.
• Arrange the remaining sausage lengthwise in the center of the ham. Press it into a 5-by-9-inch rectangle positioned crosswise across the center of the ham (the longer side of the sausage rectangle should be in front of you). Put the eggs in a line down the center of the sausage rectangle, so that the tips are touching. Fold the sausage rectangle up and over the top of the eggs so they are encased. Using the parchment under the bacon as a guide, wrap the layered meat around the egg-filled sausage to form a roll; arrange with the seam on the bottom and shape the roll to be as round of a cylinder as possible. Wrap the parchment paper tightly around the rolled meat, transfer to a baking sheet and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat: For a gas grill (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For a charcoal grill, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results).
• Place the meat roll seam-side down over the indirect heat side of the grill. Cover and cook until the bacon is browned, about 20 minutes. Turn the roll and cook seam-side up until golden all over and cooked through, about 20 minutes more. Transfer the roll to the direct heat side of the grill and cook, turning the roll once, so the bacon crisps, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the roll to a cutting board and let rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Cut into thick slices and serve sandwiched in the cinnamon rolls.
