Breakfast

Bacon Sandwich

There are many different ways of making a bacon sandwich, some combinations work and some don’t.

Firstly you will need good quality bacon. Our bacon of choice is dry cured middle (it should go without saying with the rind on) supplied by Axon’s of Didsbury.

The next decision is the bread. On no account should you use brown bread – its just wrong.

If the bread is very fresh and soft then just the bread and the crispy bacon is all you need. A soft white batch roll works well for this. You will not need any butter – the bacon has enough fat. Never add a tomato if the bread is untoasted. The additon of a fried egg with black pepper is never a bad thing.

If you are toasting then you should butter the toast. The addition of either a sliced tomato or a fried egg and plenty of black pepper also works well. This is an either/or choice, never use both together.

Ingredients

Bacon

Bread

Then depending on the bacon and bread combination possibly butter, sliced fresh tomato or a fried egg, black pepper.

Equipment

A grill

Method

  1. Grill bacon until rind is crispy.
  2. Place the bacon between the bread
  3. Eat immediately

Full Cooked Breakfast

There is no set formula for this but it should include:

  • eggs – fried, scrambled or poached
  • meat – bacon, sausage, black pudding
  • veg – tomatoes or mushrooms
  • potatoes – hash browns, potato waffles
  • toast
  • pot of tea

The breakfast below is sausage, black pudding, waffles, hash brown, tomatoes, mushrooms, scrambled eggs, toast and tea.

A full cooked breakfast is complicated – there are a lot of things to cook using different methods and it all needs to be ready at exactly the same time. You will only learn by doing.
