Toast the Bread: Begin by toasting the slices of bread until golden brown.
Spread Honey Mustard: Once toasted, spread one side of each slice of toast with honey mustard. This adds a delightful tangy flavor to the sandwiches.
Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until it’s nice and crispy. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
Prepare Skillet: Pour out excess bacon drippings from the skillet, leaving just a thin coating.
Fry the Eggs: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs one at a time into the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to cook the eggs in batches. Fry the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired level of doneness. For a classic fried egg sandwich, aim for firm yolks.
Season Eggs: Sprinkle the fried eggs with salt and pepper to taste, enhancing their flavor.
Assemble Sandwiches: Using a spatula, carefully transfer each fried egg onto a slice of toast that has been spread with honey mustard. Evenly distribute the crumbled bacon on top of the eggs.
Complete the Sandwiches: Top each egg and bacon-topped toast with another slice of prepared toast to create the sandwiches.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the fried egg sandwiches immediately while they’re still warm and the flavors are at their peak. These sandwiches pair perfectly with a side of fresh fruit or a steaming cup of coffee.
