The Perfect Egg Sandwich
- Juice from half a lemon
- 2 to 4 strips uncooked bacon
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 small roll (ciabatta, french or italian bread, something chewy and crusty)
- Coarse salt
- 3 to 4 thin slices of Manchego cheese
- 1 small handful arugula
- Squeeze the lemon into a small bowl and set it aside. Add the bacon to a dry pan over medium heat, cook halfway to well done, add in the lemon juice -- and stand back! Cook until well done and crispy all over, then crack a generous amount of black pepper on top and transfer the bacon to paper towels. Set it aside.
- Coat a separate small pan with some of the remaining bacon grease using a paper towel and carefully crack an egg into the pan over low heat. When the whites are almost completely cooked through but the yolk is still runny, remove the egg from the pan and place it on the bottom half of the roll, sprinkling some salt on top of the egg.
- Top the egg with the cheese, then the bacon, then the greens. Close it up and enjoy immediately.
