Ugly French Toast Sandwich

To me, there’s nothing quite like indulging in a sinful breakfast to end a week and start a new one. And I’m certain there are very few other things on this planet that can get my stomach yearning than the smell of bacon cooking.

I had all the ingredients in the kitchen already, so its just a matter of construction. Cooking time is short, but the effects on your soul will last for the whole day.

Ingredients:
2 pieces of bread
3 slices of bacon
2 eggs
Olive Oil

First off, take a pan and fry your bacon with a little olive oil. You don’t need too much because the pig will release it’s own. You just need enough oil to prevent initial sticking. Depending how you like your bacon, take it off when you’re happy and set aside.

For the bread, I like to cut off the crust because it just doesn’t taste sexy as a part of french toast. Break one egg onto a plate and whip it up with a little salt. To assemble, take your bacon and sandwich it between two slices of bread. Gently dip the entire sandwich in egg and leave it in to soak up the egg for a few seconds. Be warned, it will get a bit messy. If you hold it with too much strength, you’ll squish it so be gentle, it’s worth it.

Next, add a little olive oil to the pan (and butter if you wish), and when hot, place the whole sandwich in. Cook it for a minute or so, then turn over and give it another minute. Of course, this depends on how hot your pan is, so keep an eye out for it. As long as the bread starts looking like a french toast, its done because the bacon is cooked anyway. Remove and set aside.

If eggs are your thing, then you can fry up the last egg any way you like then top on your sandwich. For me, there’s no better method of egg cooking then fried, sunny side up. Serve with your ugly french toast. It should look a little like this:

Enjoy.
