Ingredients

  • 4 slices of bacon
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices of Swiss cheese
  • 1 baguette, cut into 4 pieces and halved lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • Lettuce and tomato slices, for serving

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs together with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the same skillet over medium-low heat. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until scrambled and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Preheat the broiler in your oven.
  5. Spread butter on the cut sides of each baguette piece. Place the baguette pieces on a baking sheet, buttered side up, and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise.
  7. Spread the Dijon-mayo mixture on the toasted sides of each baguette piece.
  8. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on the bottom half of each baguette piece. Top with a quarter of the scrambled eggs and two slices of bacon.
  9. Add lettuce and tomato slices, if desired, and cover with the top half of each baguette piece.
  10. Serve the French Egg and Bacon Sandwich immediately and enjoy!
