Cut the bread roll with a serrated knife, slicing it in half.

Toast the bread on a griddle or in a skillet to your liking and set aside on a plate.

To cut the tomato, pierce the tip of the knife to create an opening and then slice into very thin rounds.

In a skillet, heat enough oil to cover the bottom and add a pinch of salt to prevent splattering.

Fry the egg over medium heat, ensuring the white cooks well without creating a crust on top.

Remove the egg and set it aside once cooked.

On a hot griddle, add a few drops of oil and cook the pork loin over medium-high heat, flipping it once.

Add the smoked bacon to the griddle, cooking it quickly since it is thin.

Season the pork loin with salt and pepper after flipping it.

You can either melt the cheese on the pork loin or add it later when assembling the sandwich, based on your preference.
