Processed cheese can be less expensive and still melts well.

avocado

🥗Healthier: mashed peas

💰Cheaper: sliced cucumbers

Sliced cucumbers add crunch and are budget-friendly.

bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white bread

White bread is often cheaper and widely available.

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Cut the bacon into rashers and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet on a wire rack.

Sprinkle black pepper on the bacon before placing it in the oven.

Bake the bacon in the oven until crispy, allowing the fat to melt away.

In a skillet on medium-high heat, add butter and let it sizzle.

Crack an egg into the skillet and decide how you want it cooked (sunny side up, over easy, over hard).

Cook the egg, adding a little pepper, and place two slices of marble cheddar cheese on top.

Cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt over the egg.

Toast the quinoa and spelt whole wheat bread and add a generous helping of butter to one side.

Layer thin sliced tomatoes on the buttered side of the bread.

Add crispy bacon rashers and a layer of red leaf lettuce on top of the tomatoes.

Place the fried egg with melted cheese on top of the lettuce.

Spread mayonnaise on the top piece of bread and place it snugly on top of the sandwich.

Cut the sandwich in half with a knife to serve.
