The Ultimate Fried Egg Sandwich

bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain bread is more nutritious.

eggs

🥗Healthier: egg whites

💰Cheaper: generic eggs

Egg whites are lower in calories.

Add your bacon to a large pan over low-medium heat. Fry low and slow to render down the fat and cook until nice and crispy. Remove from pan and leave the fat. Raise heat to a medium.

Carefully and close to the pan, crack in two eggs (make sure they're spaced out). Add in butter and begin basting the egg whites. This will not only help cook the tops of the eggs, but also wrap them in all the gorgeous buttery/bacony goodness. Don't baste the yolk, you want that runny. Season with salt and pepper.

Once all of the white on both eggs are completely opaque, remove eggs from pan and crack in your second two. Repeat then remove again.

Lay your slices of bread in the pan and toast each side in the leftover oil.

Stack the sandwich in the following order: bread, chilli jam, bacon, fried eggs, chives and bread. Enjoy!
