Bacon and Egg Sandwiches with Pickled Spring Onions Recipe

  • 4 spring onions or 6 scallions, whites only, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 12 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha
  • 8 slices white sandwich bread, such as Pullman
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • Kosher salt, ground pepper
  • 1 cup arugula leaves
  1. Combine onions, vinegar, sugar, salt, and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl and toss to combine; let stand for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place bacon on a foil-lined large rimmed baking sheet; brush both sides with syrup. Bake until bacon begins to crisp but is still pliable, 20-25 minutes.
  3. Mix mayonnaise and Sriracha in a small bowl to combine; set aside.
  4. Spread 1 side of bread slices with plain mayonnaise. Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Working in batches, cook bread, mayonnaise side down, until brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Wipe out skillet.
  5. Melt butter in same skillet over medium heat; crack eggs into skillet. Cook, occasionally basting with butter in skillet, until whites are set, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Spread untoasted side of each bread slice with spicy mayo. Build sandwiches with bread, bacon, eggs, pickled spring onions, and arugula.
