Making the Perfect Egg Patty with Cheese

For the complete step-by-step on how to make the perfect fried eggs, check out my How to Make Egg Patties. Prepare the egg patty using one of the 3 cooking methods depending on your desired egg preference.

The 1st method is a fried egg patty, where the 2nd method is a scrambled egg patty, and the 3rd method is a fluffy egg patty. I suggest using a silicone egg mold for all methods.

Lightly grease the preheated griddle surface with butter, oil, or cooking spray. Place the round egg mold onto the hot greased surface.

Once the large egg is in the mold, sprinkle the top of the egg with a bit of salt and pepper. A sign that the egg is done when the patty stops jiggling and the eggs are not runny.

First Method for Cooking Egg Patty

1st method is just to crack the egg into the egg ring, break the yolk so that you can swirl the egg white and yolk together slightly. Let the egg patty cook until firm and no longer runny, remove the egg ring, and flip over to cook longer.

Before taking off the hot griddle, place a slice of American cheese on the egg patty to melt. Remove the egg and cheese patty when done.

Second Method for Cooking Egg Patty

The 2nd method is to break the egg into a bowl and use a fork to scramble the egg until well combined. Then pour into the mold, cook until firm, remove the ring, and flip if desired.

Add a slice of American cheese and let melt on top of the egg. Set aside until ready to assemble the bacon egg and cheese sandwich recipe.

Third Method for Cooking Egg Patty

The 3rd method is to break the egg into a small bowl. Add a splash of heavy whipping cream and with a fork scramble together until just combined.

After the egg mold has been placed onto the buttered griddle, pour the egg mixture into it. Cook until the egg ingredients are set and flip to cook the other side of the egg patty.

Next, place a slice of cheese on top of the fluffy egg to melt. Remove from the griddle when the egg and cheese patty is done.

How to Make a Bacon Egg and Cheese Sandwich on a Blackstone Griddle

Preheat the Blackstone Griddle flat top on low or medium low heat. I recommend not using too high of heat as the eggs will cook too quickly.

If using the Electric Blackstone griddle e-series, set the temperature settings to 400°F. Gather the bacon sandwich ingredients.

When the bacon is fully cooked, place on a paper towel lined plate to help soak up any excess grease. Next, cut the English muffin in half along the pre-cut line.
