Fry the eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack one egg into the pan. Immediately sprinkle 1 ounce of grated smoky Gouda cheese over the frying egg. Cover the pan with a lid to allow the cheese to melt and become gooey over the egg, about 2-3 minutes, or until the egg white is set and the yolk is cooked to your preference. Repeat this process for the remaining three eggs, frying them one at a time or in batches if your pan is large enough.

Toast the brioche: While the eggs are frying, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a separate large skillet or on a griddle over medium-low heat. Place all eight slices of brioche bread (both bacon jam and Dijon sides down) onto the hot surface. Toast until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Be careful not to burn the brioche as it can toast quickly due to its sugar content.

Assemble the sandwiches: To assemble each sandwich, place one toasted brioche slice with the bacon jam side up on a serving plate. Layer a portion of the seasoned tomato slices on top of the bacon jam. Carefully place one smoky Gouda fried egg on top of the tomato slices. Finally, place one toasted brioche slice with the Dijon mustard side down on top to complete the sandwich.
