What could be better - or easier - than eggs and bacon with a slice of cheddar on toasted bread! Serve sammies with a simple side of tomato and avocado slices.
Ingredients
150 g extra sharp cheddar
8 slices calabrese or whole-grain bread
4 tsp ketchup
8 slices thick-cut bacon
4 large eggs
1/8 tsp fresh-ground black pepper
2 tomatoes, thickly sliced
1 avocado, thinly sliced
Instructions
Slice cheese into 8 slices. Lay 2 cheese slices each on 4 slices of bread. Spread ketchup on other 4 slices of bread.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. Add bacon and cook until crisp, 5 to 7 min. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Crack eggs into bacon fat and fry over easy, 1 to 2 min. Season with pepper.
Lay 2 bacon strips on top of cheese, then fried eggs overtop. Sandwich with ketchup-spread bread. Toast sandwiches in same pan until golden brown on both sides, about 3 min. Serve with tomato and avocado slices.
