Bacon eggy bread recipe

This recipe was born last week in a kitchen with a fridge which was empty except for bacon and eggs, but we guarantee once you have tried it, bacon eggy bread will become a firm favourite in your house.

*A word of warning, have the fire brigade on standby.

Ingredients for one person:

3 eggs

2 rashers of bacon  

2 slices of white bread

Oil to drizzle in frying pan

Method:

Fry or grill the bacon until slightly crispy

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk

Heat a frying pan on a low heat with a little oil

*Don’t forget about the bacon if it is under the grill-  on our first attempt we nearly burnt the place down. (It is an easy mistake to make in our opinion, we blame using the healthy option of grilling. If the bacon was being fried then it would not have happened.)

Put the cooked bacon in the egg mixture and dip a piece of bread in coating both sides. If you squish the bread then the bacon should stick to it. If not take the bread out and pop some bacon on top.

Carefully (and skilfully) flip the side with the most bacon face down into the frying pan and use a spatula to push the bread down to ensure the bacon sticks to the bread

Pop some more bacon onto the uncooked side of bread, then flip over -but be careful not to throw the bacon everywhere, and push down with a spatula

Flip every couple of minutes- but not like a pancake because that is just asking for trouble. You may end up with egg and bacon on your face

Once you are happy with that slice of bacon eggy bread, repeat with the other slice of bread.

You should end up with something that looks a bit like this:

 The ketchup heart is optional, brown sauce may be used or any other condiment which takes your fancy.

Happy cooking!
