B.E.L.T (Bacon, Egg,Lettuce and Tomato)

Make your Sunday brunch come alive!!

B.E.L.T

This is my version on the classic B.L.T but with the added bonus of a runny poached egg, hence the addition of the ‘E’. Crispy bacon rashers work well here but every now and again I buy a bacon joint, cook it up and then add it to recipes like this just for a slight change and value for money.

Serves 2:

2 eggs

2 small Panini’s

4 rashers of bacon

1 little gem lettuce

Light mayonnaise

1 large tomato

Method

Poach the eggs but keep them soft. In the meantime on a medium/high grill, grill the rashers of bacon until crispy on both sides, remove and allow to drain off on kitchen paper.(Or use a bacon joint like in the pic)

Assemble the B.E.L.T by slicing the Panini’s in half lengthways, place on a few leaves of the little gem lettuce, and add a tablespoon of mayo. Thinly slice the tomato and add a few slices topped with the crispy bacon and the poached egg.
