Bacon & Fried Egg Sandwich

Bacon and eggs make a perfect marriage! I know ... I've said that before, but there is something so wonderful about salty, fatty bacon (I like streaky bacon from the belly) grilled and put together with butter laced fried eggs.

Fast food, for on the go ... a simple snack to wolf down and get on with your day, the Bacon and Egg Butty is a "to go" food.

Being paleo, the bread is a non-starter - we're not going to do that, but we can get very close by simply frying up some eggs.

Let's get our butty (a British pseudonym for sandwich) sorted ...

Get your bacon grilling, frying, griddling or however it is you like it.

Take a smallish base frying pan - 9" in diameter is fine. Drop a little lard or tallow in there to get the magic started and crack a couple of eggs in ensuring that they meet and run into each other. Crack them next to each other and add in a third if need be - you're after a base of eggs.

Once you think they're done on the underside, either flip over or put under the grill for a few minutes until the whites have gone opaque.

Slide the eggs out onto a plate and load up with bacon on one side. Flip the other half over.

Voila! Bacon and Egg Butty!

Consume rapidly and noisily, and get about your day!
