A Better Egg (for Wraps and Sandwiches)
How many times have you sunk your teeth into a breakfast burrito and taken out half the bacon on the first bite? Worse yet, how many times have you finished all of the bacon before the wrap is done? Whether it be a fried egg and bacon on a burger or bagel, if you incorporate bacon directly into the whites, you're guaranteed to have crispy porky goodness in every bite.
If you don't know how to cook an egg, it works the same way with or without the bacon in the whites. A lot of people make the mistake of using too high of heat, rendering the whites rubbery and unpalatable. By using low heat and a cover on the pan, there will be more room for error, and the whites will cook slowly as steam cooks the top of the egg.
This is more of a technique than a recipe, and you can adjust it to your needs accordingly. For wraps and tortillas I prefer the folded rectangular shape shown in the video while keeping the egg sunny side up is probably your best bet for things like sandwiches and burgers. Just keep the cover on the pan until the yolk reaches your desired consistency.
Give this a try and see how bacon in every bite will augment your quality of life, or at minimum your sandwiches.
Ingredients:
1 egg
1 strip of thick cut bacon, diced
