Description

The BEC Scallion Pancake Breakfast Sandwich is a delicious and savory twist on the traditional breakfast sandwich. The crispy, slightly chewy scallion pancake replaces the usual bread or English muffin, adding a unique texture and flavor. Filled with crispy bacon, a perfectly cooked egg, and melted cheese, this breakfast sandwich is perfect for a hearty morning meal. The combination of savory bacon, fresh scallions, and creamy cheese makes this sandwich irresistible. A must-try for breakfast lovers!


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Scallion Pancakes:

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour

    • 3/4 cup warm water

    • 1/2 tsp salt

    • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (plus more for frying)

    • 1/2 cup fresh scallions, finely chopped

    • 1 tbsp sesame oil (optional, for extra flavor)

    For the Sandwich:

    • 6 slices of bacon

    • 4 large eggs

    • 4 slices cheddar cheese (or American cheese)

    • 2 tbsp butter (for cooking the eggs)

    • Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. For the Scallion Pancakes:

    1. Make the dough:
      In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add warm water, stirring as you go, until the dough starts to come together. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

    2. Prepare the pancakes:
      After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten each ball into a small circle about 1/4-inch thick. Brush each dough circle with vegetable oil and sprinkle evenly with chopped scallions and sesame oil (if using). Roll each circle into a cylinder, then coil the cylinder into a ball again. Flatten each ball into a pancake again, making sure the scallions are evenly distributed inside.

    3. Cook the pancakes:
      Heat a bit of vegetable oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Fry each scallion pancake for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Set aside and keep warm.

    For the Sandwich:

    1. Cook the bacon:
      In a separate pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

    2. Cook the eggs:
      In the same pan, remove excess bacon grease, leaving a little for flavor. Add butter and heat over medium-low heat. Crack the eggs into the pan, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook to your preferred level of doneness (scrambled or fried). For fried eggs, cook for about 3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes or until the yolk is set but still slightly runny.

    3. Assemble the sandwich:
      Place a scallion pancake on a plate. Top with two slices of crispy bacon, one cooked egg, and a slice of cheddar cheese. Top with another scallion pancake to complete the sandwich.

    4. Serve:
      Slice the sandwich in half, serve warm, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make-Ahead Tip: You can make the scallion pancakes ahead of time. After cooking, let them cool, then wrap them in plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet before assembling the sandwich.

  • Cheese Variation: Feel free to use your favorite cheese in place of cheddar, like American cheese, provolone, or Swiss.

 

  • Spicy Option: Add a drizzle of hot sauce or a few slices of jalapeños to kick up the heat in this breakfast sandwich.
