The next morning, she tops them with butter and syrup before placing them in the microwave. This innovative way to make pancakes takes most of the fuss out of making breakfast.

Ingredients

Ingredients
2 slices sourdough bread
1 tablespoon Vanilla Greek Yogurt w/ Honey
1 large egg
1 slice cheddar cheese
2 cooked bacon strips ****Optional****
Buy Ingredients
Directions
Using a biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter, cut out center from 1 slice of bread (discard center or save for another use). Spread mayonnaise on 1 side of bread slices. In a large skillet coated with cooking spray, lightly toast cutout slice, mayonnaise side down, over medium-low heat. Flip slice; crack an egg into center. Add remaining bread slice mayonnaise side down, to skillet; layer with cheese and bacon.
Cook, covered, until egg white is set, yolk is soft-set and cheese begins to melt. If needed, flip slice with egg to finish cooking. To assemble sandwich, use solid slice as bottom and cutout slice as top.
TEST KITCHEN TIPSNothing perks up a grilled cheese sandwich more than a slice of fresh tomato. Go ahead and add it just after the cheese melts but before you assemble the sandwich. Mayo may seem like a strange ingredient to spread on the outside of the bread, but when it's grilled, it melts quickly and creates a beautiful golden brown color.
