Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• ¼ cup butter, divided
• 4 slices bread
• 1 dash ground black pepper
• 2 slices bacon, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

Step 2

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.

Step 3

Spread 1 tablespoon butter over bread slices. Place buttered side-down in a grill pan; cook until crispy, about 3 minutes. Place 2 bread slices grilled side-down on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Combine the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, parsley, Parmesan cheese, mustard, garlic, and pepper in a bowl. Spread over bread on the baking sheet.

Step 5

Broil in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 4 minutes.

Step 6

Place eggs in the same skillet; cook over medium-high heat until whites are set on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip over to cook the other side until whites are completely set, about 1 minute more. Layer bacon and eggs over the broiled bread and top with the 2 grilled slices.
