Is a bacon and egg sandwich good for breakfast? ›

Eating a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich every morning can certainly be delicious and provide you with a burst of energy to start your day, chiefly due to its high content of protein and fat.

Our list of things we want to use this jam in is ever-growing. Here are just a few to get you started: warm potato salad, grilled asparagus, fresh tomatoes, panzanella, grilled cheese, crackers and goat cheese, spinach salad, a spoon, fresh garden peas, scrambled eggs, bagels and cream cheese...

Do you put onion or bacon first? ›

Why is my bacon not crispy? Always do the bacon first before you add the onion. This way the bacon gets crisp and the fat renders. The onions add too much water for the bacon to cook properly.
