If you’ve seen the movie, you already know this isn’t just a sandwich — it’s a moment. Crispy bacon. Melty American cheese. A perfectly fried egg. A soft, toasted, buttered roll. And just a dash of hot sauce.
Simple. Unapologetic. Perfect.
Fun fact: in the movie, they actually used duck eggs because Margot Robbie is allergic to chicken eggs. The hardest part of recreating this sandwich might honestly be tracking down duck eggs. But if you can’t find them, chicken eggs work beautifully at home.
The only thing we’re not recreating? Dropping the sandwich. It’s way too good for that.

Why You’ll Love Harley Quinn’s Breakfast Sandwich Recipe
This is breakfast at its most satisfying. Salty bacon, creamy American cheese, and a rich egg all tucked into a soft, buttery roll. It’s indulgent without being complicated.
The textures are what make it special — crispy edges on the bacon, a jammy or set yolk (your choice), and cheese that melts right into everything. The hot sauce isn’t there to overpower; it’s there to wake everything up. Just enough heat to balance the richness.
It’s quick, comforting, and hits every craving in one bite.

How To Make and Serve Harley Quinn’s Breakfast Sandwich Recipe
Start by cooking your bacon until crispy. Don’t rush it — that crunch matters.
In the same pan, fry your eggs in a little butter. If you want to stay true to the movie, use duck eggs for that extra richness. Cook them sunny-side up or over easy so the yolk stays slightly runny.
Toast a soft roll — ciabatta works great — and butter it while it’s still warm so it melts into the bread.
Layer American cheese directly onto the hot egg so it melts beautifully. Add the crispy bacon on top, then finish with just a dash of hot sauce. Not a flood. You still want to taste the cheese.
Close the sandwich, press gently, and serve immediately while everything is hot and melty.
And seriously — don’t drop it.

Harley Quinn’s Breakfast Sandwich Recipe Tips
Here are a few tips for making this dish:
- Use good-quality American cheese — it melts better and gives that classic creamy texture.
- Duck eggs are richer and slightly larger than chicken eggs, so adjust cook time slightly if using them.
- Don’t overload the hot sauce. This sandwich is about balance.
- If you want extra indulgence, lightly toast the assembled sandwich in the pan for 30 seconds to melt everything together.
