Step-by-Step Guide to Making Bacon, Egg, and Cheese

1. Cook the Bacon:

Arrange the bacon slices in the Thermomix Varoma tray to ensure even cooking.
Steam the bacon at Varoma temperature for 10 minutes on Speed 2.
For crispier bacon, transfer the steamed slices to a skillet or air fryer and cook until golden and crispy.

2. Scramble the Eggs:

Crack the eggs into the Thermomix bowl. Add a splash of milk, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Attach the butterfly whisk and cook at 100°C for 8 minutes on Speed 3.
Scrape down the sides halfway through for evenly cooked, fluffy scrambled eggs.

3. Prepare the Cheese:

While the eggs are warm, layer the cheese slices directly on the eggs to melt.

4. Toast the Bread:

Toast your choice of bread (brioche, bagel, or English muffin) in a toaster or oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes.
Optionally, spread butter, mayonnaise, or aioli for added flavor.

5. Assemble the Sandwich:

Layer the crispy bacon, scrambled eggs, and melted cheese on the toasted bread.
Add optional toppings like avocado slices, tomato, or spinach for a gourmet twist.
Top with the second half of the bread and serve warm.
