How to Make BEC Scallion Pancake Breakfast Sandwich
Step 1: Crisp the Bacon
Start your BEC Scallion Pancake Breakfast Sandwich by heating a skillet over medium heat. Lay in the bacon strips and cook until they reach peak crispiness. The aroma is your first hint of good things to come! Once done, let them rest on a paper towel to drain and stay shatteringly crunchy.
Step 2: Fry the Eggs
Pour off most of the bacon fat (unless you want your eggs extra luxurious), and in the same skillet, cook your eggs. Whether you’re a fan of creamy scrambled or classic fried, crack them in carefully and season with salt and pepper. The eggs only need a couple of minutes—cook them just how you like, then set aside on a plate.
Step 3: Warm the Scallion Pancakes
If necessary, give your skillet a quick wipe. Add a touch of butter or oil, then lay the scallion pancakes in the pan. Warm each one for a minute or two per side until they’re golden and crispy, filling your kitchen with the mouthwatering smell of toasty scallions.
Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich
This is where the fun begins! Place one hot scallion pancake on your plate and top with a slice of cheddar. While the cheese softens from the heat, add your eggs, followed by the crispy bacon. For a kick, drizzle over some hot sauce or sriracha mayo. Cap it all with the second scallion pancake, pressing gently to join all the savory layers.
Step 5: Serve Hot
Slide your BEC Scallion Pancake Breakfast Sandwich onto a cutting board, slice it in half, and serve immediately while everything is melty and perfectly warm. Get ready for that first irresistible bite!
How to Serve BEC Scallion Pancake Breakfast Sandwich
Garnishes
Keep things vibrant by jazzing up your BEC Scallion Pancake Breakfast Sandwich with extra scallion greens, a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, or a few fresh cilantro leaves. For added richness, a dollop of sriracha mayo on the side looks (and tastes) fantastic.
Side Dishes
Pair your sandwich with bright, refreshing sides like a quick cucumber salad or tangy kimchi to cut through the richness. If you’re brunching, a simple fruit salad or crispy hash browns rounds everything out beautifully.
Creative Ways to Present
Go beyond the classic sandwich cut! Slice your BEC Scallion Pancake Breakfast Sandwich into wedges and serve as a shareable appetizer, or stack mini versions on skewers for a dreamy brunch platter. However you serve it, be sure to show off those colorful layers.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you somehow have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The sandwich will stay tasty for up to a day, though the pancake will lose a bit of crispness—still yummy for a grab-and-go snack.
Freezing
To freeze, separate the layers: wrap the cooked scallion pancakes and fillings separately in plastic wrap, then tuck everything into a freezer-safe bag. This way, your BEC Scallion Pancake Breakfast Sandwich won’t get soggy and stays fresh for up to a month.
Reheating
When you’re ready, reheat the pancake in a skillet or oven until it’s crispy again, and gently warm the fillings in the microwave or on the stovetop. Assemble your sandwich just before eating for the best texture and flavor hit.
FAQs
Can I make this vegetarian?
Definitely! Simply skip the bacon or swap in your favorite plant-based alternative. A handful of sautéed mushrooms or smoky tempeh is a great stand-in, keeping all that hearty flavor.
What kind of scallion pancakes should I use?
Frozen scallion pancakes from the Asian grocery store work wonderfully and save time. If you’re up for a kitchen adventure, homemade scallion pancakes have fantastic flavor and can be customized just the way you like.
Can I add extra fillings to the sandwich?
Yes! This is a fantastic canvas. Slices of avocado, pickled jalapeños, or a spoonful of kimchi add extra layers of flavor and personality to your BEC Scallion Pancake Breakfast Sandwich.
Is this recipe kid-friendly?
Absolutely. The BEC Scallion Pancake Breakfast Sandwich is hearty, fun to eat, and simple to assemble. Just watch the optional hot sauce if your little ones are spice-sensitive.
Can I make the eggs ahead of time?
You can cook the eggs in advance and keep them refrigerated. They reheat quickly in the microwave or on the stovetop—just be careful not to overcook, so they stay soft and creamy.
