Did you know that April is National Grilled Cheese Month? I love a good grilled cheese sandwich, so this is a food holiday I am all for.
I have loved grilled cheese since I was a kid. We ate it often growing up and it has always been one of my favorite sandwiches.
Over the years I have had fun experimenting with all kinds of grilled cheese sandwiches, but my kids like it when I keep it simple, they are kids after all. So, I knew that I wanted to come up with a grilled cheese sandwich that we would all enjoy. I also wanted to make a sandwich that we could eat any time of day.
If you have read this site for long than you know I love bacon. Bacon makes everything better, including grilled cheese. And I could not think of anything better to go with bacon and cheese than an egg.
So, what do you have when you combine bacon, egg, and cheese on a sandwich? You have a delicious breakfast grilled cheese sandwich.
We think this is perfect not only for breakfast, but for lunch or dinner as well. I don’t know about you, but I could eat bacon, egg, and cheese on a grilled cheese sandwich just about any time of day.
Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Change up sandwich night with a bacon, egg, and cheese grilled cheese sandwich.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of sandwich bread or gluten free bread
- 2 slices of bacon that has been cooked
- 1 fried egg, cooked until the yolk is hard
- 2 slices American Cheese
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
- Butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Place one slice of bread, butter side down on a hot grill or panini press. Place one slice of cheese on the bread.
- Place 2 slices of bacon on top of cheese. Then place egg on top of bacon.
- Add the last slice of cheese and the second slice of bread with the butter side up.
- Cook on medium high heat for 2-3 minutes or until outside of the bread is slightly browned and the cheese is starting to melt.
- Carefully flip the sandwich over and cook for 2-4 more minutes or until the second side is done and the cheese is completely melted. (If you are using a panini press you will not need to flip the sandwich.)
- Serve and enjoy!

I love egg sandwiches and would never have thought to grill them like this! I know what I am making for breakfast. 🙂
We love breakfast sandwiches too and I had not thought to grill them until recently. I loved the texture that grilling it gave the bread. So good. I hope you enjoy it!
That looks DIVINE!
Thanks! It was fun to create it.
Oh my gosh! I think you created this just for me! I could hug you. 🙂
Thanks! I think this is a sandwich anyone would enjoy. I mean who doesn’t like a good breakfast sandwich. 🙂
Oh my, Lynn! You are making me hungry. I think I have to make that right now. 🙂
Yumm…I think I know what we are having for breakfast tomorrow!
Great idea — love this!
I am new to this cooking stuff lol … is this something that can be frozen and used the next day or would that be gross? Sounds sooo good I want to make it but also am on the hunt for easy on the go stuff too.
I would not make the whole sandwich the day ahead, but you could cook the bacon ahead and also the egg ahead and keep them in the fridge a few days until you are ready to make it.
Breakfast in bed for my sick mom has been prepared on a screen. And look, instructions. Christmas already?
Lynn, I have only recently come across your website and I can’t believe how much I love it! I have been cooking for over 40 years and had never thought to put an egg on the grilled bacon and cheese. This would be good with grilled ham and cheese too. I will be making this over the weekend. Thank you for such good recipes and ideas!
I am so glad you found my site and are enjoying it. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy this. Sometimes it is the simplest things we overlook, and yet they are the best. You can’t get much better than bacon, egg, and cheese combined. And yes ham or canadian bacon works well also.
