Bacon and Onion Breakfast Sandwiches

Start your morning with a bold, flavour-packed breakfast! Crispy bacon, caramelised onions, and a hint of maple and BBQ sauce come together for the ultimate savoury-sweet combo.

Ingredients

  • 8 strips thick-cut bacon diced
  • 1 red onion halved and thinly sliced
  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp good quality barbecue sauce
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 buns lightly toasted, if desired
  • tomato slices

Method

  1. Place a medium pan on the stove and heat on medium-high heat. Once hot, add bacon and cook it for approximately 5 minutes.
  2. Next, add onion to the pan and continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add syrup, barbecue sauce and chili powder, stir well to incorporate, reduce to medium heat and continue to cook for 5 minutes.
  4. While the bacon mixture cooks, preheat oven to low broil and whisk together eggs, milk, and pepper in a medium bowl.
  5. Use a second medium pan on medium-high heat to scramble eggs. Use a large spoon to transfer scrambled eggs into 4 equal portions to a baking sheet.
  6. Spoon bacon and onion mixture evenly on top of the egg portions, top with cheese slices and place in oven until cheese has melted, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and transfer to toasted buns, place tomato slices on top, and serve.
