I enjoyed this a lot!! I omitted the 3 piece of bread, too much for me. Yummy!

Yum, these were delicious and filling! I left a little of the bacon grease in the pan to cook the mushrooms and eggs in and omitted the butter, oil, and salt. I prepared the eggs without flipping them by adding a little water and covering with a lid, as that is my usual method. I omitted the middle slice of bread and only used 1 slice of bacon, cut in half, on each sandwich. We really enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing!
