Sourdough goes on the flat top first, cut side down, until the edges go crisp and the middle stays soft enough to give.
Bacon, cooked until the fat renders and the edges curl.
Eggs, folded hot straight off the pan.
Cheese, melted over the eggs so it pulls.
Spicy sauce, spread on both slices.
Sourdough, toasted on the flat top.
The sandwich is built in the order that keeps it together: sauce on the bottom slice, then the eggs and cheese, then the bacon, then the top slice pressed down for a second so nothing slides out on the first bite. It is made to order, so it arrives hot and the bread has not had time to steam itself soft. Eat it with both hands.
