    When I look at this amazing breakfast grilled cheese sandwich, all I can think is, "Hey, grill, heyyy." We've already established that I have deep, emotional relationships with my food, and this sandwich is taking it to the next level—like, I'm ready to retire in Florida with it.

    I also feel like the Ryan Gosling memes are actually talking about this stack of goodness, and they mean to say, "Hey, grill. Let me get at you." Don't believe me? Well, wait until you see this next picture...

    The Best Breakfast Grilled Cheese Sandwich is All about the Egg

    See? Ooey-gooey perfection. The key it make your sunny side up egg runny on the inside.

    If you're not immediately in love with this sandwich, something is very wrong. I mean, who wouldn't want to get snug and cozy, and talk about 401k portfolios with this tower of bacon, egg, and cheese? These are the moments we live for! Well, these are the moments I live for, anyway. I'm definitely the person who shows up to parties and events and willingly admits, "I'm only here for the food."
