Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 slices (8 slices) Bacon
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 2 tsp Brown Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- 4 Tbsp Strawberry Preserves
- 2 Sandwich Rolls
- 1 oz (28 g) Brie
- 1 oz (28 g) Arugula
- 2 tsp Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Cooking Oil
- 2 Eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Make glaze by whisking together black pepper, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and preserves.
- Line a baking sheet with foil. Top with an oven-safe cooling rack, spread bacon on the rack, and bake until nearly crisp (20-25 minutes).
- Remove bacon from oven, brush with glaze, and bake until crisp and caramelized (5-7 minutes more).
- Slice sandwich rolls in half and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet. Spread one side of each roll with brie and toast in the oven until melted and golden brown.
- Toss arugula with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
- Heat cooking oil in a skillet, crack eggs into the hot oil, and fry until cooked through.
- Assemble sandwiches: top the melted brie side of the roll with bacon, arugula, and a fried egg.
Notes
- For easier handling, partially cook the bacon before glazing and crisping in the oven.
- If brie is unavailable, substitute a mild creamy cheese like Camembert or goat cheese.
- To prevent soggy sandwiches, assemble just before serving. Store leftover bacon and eggs separately.
