Using eggs for dinner is really economical and since we have chickens and always have extra eggs, finding ways to use them for dinner is a fun challenge. These open faced bacon and egg sandwiches are super fast and easy, and SO good.
You could use egg salad or fried eggs here too, but I liked scrambled for this sandwich. I toasted some slices of rye bread in a hot skillet with a little garlic olive oil for extra flavor. I used my oven method to cook the bacon, then chopped it. I used a simple mix of a little mayo, some dijon and little salt and spread that on the bread, then topped it with the scrambled eggs and bacon. Chopped scallions added a nice burst of flavor and freshness. My family loved these and they were one of the easiest dinners I have made lately.
I cook my scrambled eggs by whisking the eggs with a little salt, pepper and a splash or milk or water to help fluff them up. How do you cook yours? Hope you enjoy this sandwich.
