Scallion Pancake Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich

This is part two of a recreation of a breakfast sandwich from Winson's. The day before, @bon_abbetit made Winson's scallion pancake recipe from scratch. This video picks up the next morning, turning those pancakes into the restaurant's signature breakfast sandwich.

The method is straightforward. Beaten eggs go into a buttered skillet. Bacon and cheese layer on top. The scallion pancake wraps around the whole thing and crisps up in the pan until the outside is golden brown and deeply caramelized. The flaky, layered texture of the pancake does the work that bread would normally do, but with more crunch and flavor.

The final product is a compact, heavily browned rectangle -- scallion pancake on the outside, melted cheese and bacon fused to the egg on the inside. The creator's verdict: not quite as good as eating it in person at Winson's, but the closest you can get at home.

Key Takeaways

• Scallion pancakes make a strong bread substitute for breakfast sandwiches. The laminated dough crisps harder than toast or an English muffin.
• This is a two-day project. The pancake dough needs to be made and rested the day before.
• Fold the pancake around the fillings while everything is still in the pan. That way the seam side gets sealed by direct heat.
• The benchmark is Winson's. If you want to compare your version to the original, that is the restaurant to visit.
