Authentic New York Bacon Egg and Cheese At Home

look if we're gonna make a bodega bacon egg and cheese any sort of way it's gonna be the right way [Music] we're back in new york how would you know that because i got poland spring second you see this you know someone's in new york so we're gonna go down to the local bodega i'm gonna go pick up a nice bacon egg and cheese taste it i've had them before but i need to revise my memory to really make this properly so whipping it up classic style on a roll i did salt pepper ketchup you know not always do people do that but it's a classic nothing wrong with it somehow they have everything you could possibly need in one place all things are possible beautiful and bacon egg and cheese is plentiful and the garbage truck is loud yeah there's something special about this is it dog poop is it drugs or is it alcohol that he's gonna drink in public no no no no this is a bacon egg and cheese when you say the name of this sandwich please be aware that if you're in new york for some reason it's all one word it's bigger i can choose the less syllables the better i would say there it is but i mean come on come on i'll put this in my there are many things of a culture of new york that ties everything together earlier vikram was talking about how he really doesn't want to live in new york fine everybody teach their um i'm not sure if i would either but it's moments like this that do make me want to live in new york it's a little quaintness of it step outside your brownstone or your apartment or whatever wherever you're living right scroll down grab a crappy coffee in one of these and it just feels right got all these beautiful buildings history but this bacon egg and cheese for some reason ties it all together for me i hate when i get a breakfast sandwich that doesn't have enough bacon you know what i'm talking about every breakfast sandwich from every fast food chain get a little paper thin razor thin piece of bake i don't even know how they slice it that then this is chock full of it wide open in your mouth it's a classic i don't think this is about making it better but i do think that it's about elevating all of the elements that we love the most about this sandwich and making what i think might be the most iconic bacon egg and cheese if not close to it okay so we're back in the kitchen from new york you already heard my key takeaways but i have all the flavors in my mind in my mouth now so i'm going to spit all that back up onto a plate with all that being said let's make this shall we right as i've said this isn't just about a bacon and cheese breakfast sandwich it's the culture and the little tricks and things that create something much more special this is a bacon egg and cheese now one of those classic elements is a soft kaiser roll sure you could go buy one and i can tell you right now the logo bodega is definitely not making theirs people are gonna complain oh he bought him what the so guess what i'm making it so stained mixer bowl add 450 grams of all-purpose flour yes i'm using grams on a new york bodega sandwich why because i want consistency in your bread game and if you don't want to use grams link at the bottom of the description for the full recipe anyway in your flour 3 grams of food grade amylase powder 9 grams of fine sea salt and 8 grams of sugar mix until combined separately you'll need 170 grams of water at around 95 degrees fahrenheit whisk in 8 grams of instant yeast until dissolved followed by one large egg and with your stand mixer fitted with lesbian begin mixing at medium low and add your yeasty eggs let that mix until you get a rough dough then add in 28 grams of unsalted softened butter keyword is softened here pal all right don't make any mistake you wakeys mix completely until incorporated then continue to knead for two to three minutes or until you get a smooth supple dough puff that into a grease bowl and rise for one hour or till doubled punch that brother down cut into six even pieces around 130 grams each roll into toit balls did you know that many things start with balls i don't know if that's true now place those balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and once you have all your balls evenly spaced apart optionally but ideally use a kaiser press link in the description for the one that i use and press that until almost to the point of touching the baking sheet but not all the way through the dough repeat with all your balls spray their tops and non-stick spray flip them over and cover with greased plastic wrap to proof for 25 minutes at room temperature this is a good time to preheat your oven to 375 fahrenheit if you're thinking ahead and once they're done resting gently flip them all back over brush each bun lightly with whole milk then sprinkle all them with poppy seeds and then pop into your preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until a beautiful golden brown kaiser roll emerges let those cool completely on a wire rack and i'll tell you what brother you're about three quarters of the way to a beautiful sandwich let's start our sandal off with mr traditional a classic bacon and cheese with salt pep and ketchup this is one of the only ways you'll see me doing something as sinister as putting ketchup on my eggs first obviously slice your rolls in half lightly toast them for each sandwich you'll need two whole eggs cracked and whisked so eight total if you're making four sandwiches so i guess we'll work off the idea that we're making for sandwiches seasoned taste of salt which again it's okay to season them ahead with salt as long as you're cooking them hard which we will here whisk until homogeneous now you'll need one pound of applewood smoked bacon cooked however you like it the easiest way to pop it on a baking sheet and into a 400 degree oven for about 10 to 15 minutes or until cooked to your liking look i know there's the debate of oh do we go crispy do we go floppy listen this is not the time for flaccid bacon all right i'm all for a moist bacon but i want this crunchy okay part of the texture drain lightly on a paper towel to soak up the excess greasiness and then get a 10 inch non-stick pan heat over medium heat add about a tablespoon of unsalted butter or just enough to coat the pan and once that's melted and bubbling pour in about two whole eggs worth of your beaten eggs and as that cooks bringing the sides to the center of the pan letting the uncooked egg fill up the now empty space in the pan repeat all the way around and once that egg is nearly fully set add one to two slices of american cheese to the center feel free to give it a little bit of pep then fold one side of the egg towards the center then the bottom of the egg also towards the center the other side of the egg towards the center see where we're going here and finally the top down to enclose a little parcel of egg sign it yours truly make sure the got dang address is correct for once and send that off to your nearest goddang bun top it with your cooked bacon and then on the other bun hit with ketchup pepper and salt to taste top that messy thing and this is the most important part in foil parchment or ideally a sandwich wrapper wrap that thing as tightly so that this is essentially steaming the bread to get that traditional texture you'll expect from a good old bacon egg cheese now cut it in half good lord it's a goddamn cross section i'm gonna need to go take lap it's doing something to me and of course don't forget the bev or have hellfire from all new yorkers ring down upon your sins now let's taste test mr original let's pop him out and look at this cross section i mean god that is just good you can really taste why this is so special to so many people the saltiness cheese is melty and ooey gooey the bun is so soft from like steaming inside of this that's the key crunchy bacon and then of course a little bit of balancing on that richness with some ketchup normally i would never put ketchup on breakfast sandwich that is just good all right that's out of the way let's try another one that you guys on my instagram dms just kept suggesting it's literally the exact same thing kaiser roll toasted eggs cheese fold egg down bacon down but this time instead of ketchup you're gonna take a little bit of grape jelly and spread it on both cut sides of your toasted bread for some unexplainable reason you know i thought i was getting pranked when i saw this request so many times but you know what i decided let's try it but uh not so sure about it though now speaking of never putting stuff on a breakfast sandwich grape jelly really weird kind of annoying to be honest a lot of people asked for it in my research it was pretty prevalent if i smoked a lot of weed i would think this is good that's who orders this part of me wants to like it and part of me is like i don't know about this i will say this it provides the same level of sweetness that the ketchup does i can see how it could be used the same way i don't know that i would order it again like that but it wasn't bad it does cut the richness but it's the fruitiness that's a little out of the way for me so i guess it depends on the jam that they use or the jelly not bad not my first choice this is a personalized sandwich okay relax last but not least is the deep pockets bacon egg and cheese that you'll almost definitely never see in but we're gonna do it anyway butter in the pan heat over medium heat melt the bubbling add your eggs attach your fresh sliced chives let that cook while that's going cut a quasam in half place on a heated griddle iron top with a slice of amantal cheese and this time fold your egg into more of a rectangular shape no cheese needed on the inside of this one pop that hot boy onto your cheese quassle follow with your nicest most expensive bacon hit it with some hot sauce to taste another layer of emintol the top of your quasom and press and what happens after that well it got a little more flat than intended i'll be honest with you there's something here i'm sure there's something here this is sort of like i guess uh the cubano of croissants maybe that's kind of cool let's just taste test it anyway last one my flattest concoction on the show in history which is kind of fun it's almost like a little finger food did somebody say oh bonjour every new yorker watching this is like what is that i get it i don't know honestly it's kind of good kendrick do you want to try this pano all right vikram you're trying the fancy one so here's a fancy fork oh he wanted me to feed him i should have fed him despite how flat it is it's actually pretty good there's something fine dining for this i didn't use some restaurant i just like played it like this standing straight up a little little quinel of sauce next to it boom thirteen dollars thank you it's very good the shape is off-putting but the taste is very yeah it looked like a flat turtle it looked like if a turtle got ran over by a car i've seen her turtle ran over by a car it's ugly i'm gonna go cry now i didn't run over it this is not a bacon egg and cheese this is the bacon egg and cheese and now you know how to harness its power do you wanna know what else is power you can harness b-roll [Music] you
