Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and cook 8 strips of bacon for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until crispy. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels.
Step 2: Split and toast 4 brioche buns lightly in the same skillet or toaster. Spread 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
Step 3: Melt 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet over medium heat. Crack 4 large eggs into the pan and fry for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks remain runny. Season eggs with black pepper to taste.
Step 4: Top each fried egg with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese and cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
Step 5: On each bun bottom, layer 2 bacon strips, melted cheddar egg, and a handful of fresh arugula (1/4 cup per sandwich). Close with the top bun and serve warm.
