Equipment

Ingredients

2 slices Bacon
2 Tablespoons Cracked peppercorn aioli 1 tablespoon peppercorns ground + ½ cup mayonnaise + 1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 Slices Brioche bread
1 tablespoon Unsalted butter softened
2 Eggs
2 slices Sharp white cheddar
2 slices Avocado
1 Tablespoon Hot Sauce
Sprinkle Cracked Pepper

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375F to cook the bacon. Line a baking sheet with parchment and place the bacon slices individually on the baking sheet. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until lightly browned.
2 slices Bacon
In a small bowl, combine the ground peppercorns, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Mix well until the black pepper is evenly distributed throughout the mayonnaise and set the aioli aside.
2 Tablespoons Cracked peppercorn aioli
Preheat your cast iron pan or the pan of your choosing to medium-high heat.
Lightly spread each side of the brioche bread slices with butter. Place the bread slices on the preheated grill or grill pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes per side or until lightly browned.
2 Slices Brioche bread , 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Add a nonstick skillet onto the stove at medium heat.
Meanwhile, crack your eggs and cream into a small bowl and whisk them together with a fork.
2 Eggs
Pour the eggs into the pan and immediately start swirling and mixing the eggs with a spatula while they begin to cook. Continue this process until you start to see larger, egg curds form - this should take about one minute.
Once the eggs have started to set, remove your pan from heat and give the eggs another stir. The eggs will continue to cook slightly even after removing from the heat.
Lay out the grilled brioche bread slices on your work surface. On one side of each bread slice, spread the prepared black pepper aioli.
Layer cheddar, followed by avocado, bacon, scrambled eggs, hot sauce, cracked pepper and the second brioche slice before cutting in half and serving.

Notes

These brioche breakfast sandwiches are best served fresh, especially since the avocado is prone to oxidizing. That said, you’re welcome to wrap up any uneaten sandwich and pop it in the fridge for a day or two. To reheat, the microwave is probably your best bet.
