Ingredients
(scroll all the way to the bottom for the exact printable recipe)
for the mayo
- ½ cup Mayo
- 2 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
for the sandwich
- salted butter
- eggs
- franks hot sauce
- kosher salt
- scallions
- cheddar cheese (I actually prefer american cheese which is pictured!)
- crispy bacon
- brioche buns
How to make it
Making this EggSlut breakfast sandwich at home is shockingly easy.
To begin, start by frying up your bacon.
While it's getting crispy, go ahead and mix up the spicy mayo.
In a small bowl, combine mayo with sriracha and smoked paprika.
If you don't have any smoked paprika, that's ok -- you can skip it! It's optional but it adds the perfect smoky depth that makes the sandwich even more delicious!
Once the mayo is ready, stick it in the fridge for the flavors to combine.
Next, it's time to prep the eggs.
Break the eggs into a bowl and hit it with a little bit of Frank's hot sauce and a hefty sprinkle of salt.
The bacon is probably just about time, so it's time to remove it from the pan and set on a paper towel to absorb some of the grease.
Wipe the pan out and melt half of the butter and turn the heat to medium-medium low.
Grab a spatula and continuously stir the eggs.
Once the tiny curds appear, add two slices of cheese and the scallions. Continue scrambling until the mixture is light, fluffy and perfectly soft. Separate the eggs into two piles and rest another piece of cheese on each one. Set aside.
Wipe the pan out again and add the remaining butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the brioche buns and toast each one until golden brown.
Remove the buns and assemble the egg slut sandwich.
I just shared an instagram reel on how to do this if you'd like to see!
Smear 1 tablespoon of spicy mayo on the bottom bun then top with half of the cheesy scrambled eggs and half of the bacon.
Smear another tablespoon or so of the spicy mayo onto the top half of the bun and close the sandwich up.
Repeat the same process for the other half of the sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Other variations
It's super easy to switch things up and make this Eggslut sandwich your own.
Instead of bacon, you could definitely try using some sausage, ham or even a slice of tomato.
If you don't like american or cheddar cheese, you could try goat cheese, gouda, or a spicy pepperjack.
And if you can't find brioche, feel free to swap it out for some toasted white bread, a croissant, or even a toasted bagel.
However you want to spin it, go for it!
What to pair it with
If I was making this breakfast and I was hungover, I would definitely serve it with a mimosa or a hot sauce michelada for some hair fo the dog style help. Or maybe you want to be a little healthier and treat yourself to my favorite kale juice? Up to you!
But if you're doing a big breakfast or brunch spread, you can try some easy puff pastry cinnamon buns or some salted caramel churro french toast.
