Authentic New York Bacon Egg and Cheese At Home

This is the breakfast recipe king of any breakfast sandwich. At least that’s what New York Says.

Hey Joshua, you should start a series called "But Simple" where you simplify extravagant dishes so regular home cooks can make them at home without spending the entire day in the kitchen. Love your stuff, keep it up!

As a Texan who moved to New York, I felt that intro. There is something about being able to get these fantastic foods from a Bodega or even convenience stores that sell pizzas, have hot boxes, etc, that really does make it worth it to be here.

It's always okay to add salt to eggs when stirring them. Makes them taste lovely when I chug down the yolks with a little grape jelly.

So happy you wrapped your sandwich. To many people out there running around with big floppy sandwiches not knowing how important it is to wrap it tightly to keep those juices inside

Lifetime New Yorker here. They rarely if ever scramble the eggs for this sandwich. Instead they oil the flattop with the spatula then break the 2-3 eggs per sandwich right there and just swizzle the spatula back and forth for 1-2 seconds or use half a broken shell already in their hand just to break the yolks and marble the egg slightly. It’s a very different and more accurate texture than scrambled… give it a try.

I have a cool idea, Josh should go visit General Ock.

Aw man, this is amazing! Great job! One note I wanna add (as a lifelong Long Islander who worked in NYC for 20+ years) - I suggest cooking the bacon *first* in your pan - as they do on the bodega griddles. One of the corner stores I used to frequent would have a bacon mountain to the side, so it'd be ready to go as orders came in. Then the egg would fry or scramble in that residual bacon grease, and that infusion is what I think makes a baconeggandcheese (yes, it's one word indeed!) incredibly special. But this is awesome. (I also tried your ground beef taco recipe and it was STUPID GOOD.)

Great video as always! You've inspired me to start my own cooking channel, so thank you so much for all that you do!

One can't go wrong with creamy eggs, bacon and some nice bread! Great! The jelly for the second version is a surprise but I guess it would be nice.

New Yorker here, papa you almost nailed it. The one criticism I have is the egg, it’s usually cracked right onto the griddle. The yolk is broken about halfway through frying and then tossed around, then the cheese is placed on top almost like a hamburger. That way you get the perfect mixture of cooked white and ever so slightly runny yolk, it’s not all mixed together like a scrambled egg.

Still love you

This looks absolutely incredible! Definitely need to give it a try! 😍🙌🏻🤤

I found this channel a few days ago and i'm kinda in love with it. Good videos ngl

[ConflictFrogs]

Lifelong Long Islander here. When I saw the parchment and foil come out I sighed in relief lol. For the eggs I usually break them into a carbon steel or cast iron and break the yolk with a spatula slightly scrambling it up. Every SEC or BEC I've had has had them this way. There's something about the sandwich, while sipping shitty deli coffee and the small 4oz orange juice they give you that just hits.

thank you for blessing me with not only the recipe (i normally don't do them) Thank you for the chill music your earmeltingly smooth voice. Everything about your videos makes me happy!
Thank you so much!

You Josh taught me how to cook. I impress all the ladies with everything you teach us. Thank you.

Fun fact the Kaiser rolls at the deli are baked fresh locally every morning… if you walk through the city around 3 am you can smell them baking the rolls, at various bakeries…they literally get carted out every morning because the sandwich is so popular many bodega/deli/corner stores can’t keep them in stock

[ThomasGeoffray]

As much as we're in love with croissants in France, we practically never use it for sandwiches. You can mainly see that in other European countries.

[chriswilliams-pxul]

Man I get the whole bacon egg and cheese vibe, it's the equivalent of getting up at 6 in Australia and stopping by the milkbar to get a sausage roll and iced coffee and it doesn't matter how good the sausage roll is, you're going to enjoy it

[robertwilliambogen]

Made the rolls last night and the sandwiches this am, total success!
