Steps

Fry8 min
cold pan, medium-low
- bacon
bacon laid in a cold skillet — starting cold renders the fat out slowly instead of seizing the meat, so the strips end up flat and crisp rather than curled and raw in the middle; lift to paper and pour off all but about a tablespoon of fat
Toast2 min
medium, cut side down
- butter
split rolls + butter or the reserved bacon fat, cut side down until the crumb is gold and slightly sealed — an untoasted cut face wicks up the yolk and the bottom half goes to mush in a minute
Fry3 min
medium-low, covered at the end
- eggs
- black pepper
eggs cracked into the same pan, yolks broken with the spatula edge + salt + pepper, then folded in on themselves into a square about the width of the roll; medium-low is the whole trick, because high heat drives water out of the white and it turns rubbery and squeaky before the yolk is set
Top1 min
off heat, pan still hot
folded egg + cheese slice laid on while the egg is at its hottest — residual heat melts it into the surface and glues the stack together, which a cold slice added at the table will not do
Top1 min
toasted bottom + egg and cheese + bacon broken in half so it sits inside the footprint + optionals + top half, pressed gently for ten seconds to set the layers
