Ingredients
Scale
350 g streaky bacon, finely diced
1/2 cup water
1 onion, finely diced
2 tbsp sticky balsamic glaze
50 ml black coffee
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 bunch silverbeet, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tbsp olive oil
1 pinch of salt and pepper
4 tbsp bacon jam
100 g Fromager d’Affinois Ali & Fines Herbes
100 g sautéed greens
2 eggs
50 g butter
4 tbsp mayonnaise
Instructions
In a saucepan over medium heat, add 2 tbsp of olive oil and the diced onions. Sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).
Add the diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 10-15 minutes, draining any excess grease.
Pour in the water, balsamic glaze, black coffee, and maple syrup. Stir to combine and let it simmer on low for around 20 minutes until thickened.
Stir in the garlic, silverbeet, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Butter the outside of your bread slices.
Layer one slice of bread in the skillet with 2 tbsp bacon jam, 50g Fromager d’Affinois, and sautéed greens. Top with a second slice of bread and cook until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes). Flip and repeat on the other side.
In a separate pan, heat another tablespoon of olive oil. Crack the eggs in and fry them sunny side up.
Slice your toastie in half, top with a fried egg, and drizzle with mayonnaise. Serve hot!
Notes
Bacon jam can be made a day in advance for enhanced flavor. Store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
