- Cook the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk with salt and pepper, then pour into the skillet. Cook gently stirring until set but still soft, about 3-4 minutes.
Assembly
- Assemble the Sandwich: On one slice of bread, layer sautéed vegetables, crispy bacon, and scrambled eggs. Top with the second slice.
- Toast the Sandwich: Melt butter on the skillet and carefully add the sandwich. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Chop & Garnish: Slice the sandwich in half and sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.
