Ingredients
Brownberry everything sandwich thins
2 (Split into top and bottom halves.)
Bacon
3 slices (Cut in half.)
Eggs
2 (Cracked and cooked in a skillet.)
Romaine lettuce
2 leaves (Washed and kept whole.)
Tomato
1 (Sliced thin.)
Cheese
2 slices (Your choice.)
Light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon (To spread on sandwich tops.)
Butter-flavored cooking spray

Instructions
1
Begin by cooking the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. Once done, remove from heat and let drain on a paper towel.
2
While the bacon is cooking, spray the outer sides of the sandwich thins lightly with butter-flavored cooking spray.
3
Place the sprayed sandwich thins in the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sandwich thins are just slightly crisp.
4
In a clean skillet, add a paper towel to transfer some of the bacon grease for added flavor and heat the skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them to your liking (sunny side up or scrambled).
5
Once the sandwich thins are ready, take the bottom halves and place a slice of your choice of cheese on each one. Top with the crispy bacon and cooked eggs.
6
Place the tops of the sandwich thins in the air fryer basket next to the assembled bottoms, and air fry until the cheese is melted, approximately 1-2 minutes.
7
Remove from the air fryer and layer on the fresh tomato slices and romaine lettuce on top of the cheese and eggs.
8
Spread a tablespoon of light mayonnaise on the inside of the sandwich tops, then gently place them onto the assembled bottoms to create your perfect sandwich.
