Open-Face Bacon-and-Egg Sandwiches with Rocket

This bacon and egg open sandwich offers a sophisticated twist on a classic breakfast staple. Using crusty ciabatta or focaccia as a base, the dish layers salty, crisp bacon with juicy tomato slices and perfectly fried eggs. The addition of a sharp shallot vinaigrette and peppery rocket provides a fresh, modern contrast to the rich, savoury flavours of the meat and golden-yolked eggs.

As a high-protein meal, this recipe is an excellent choice for a filling weekend brunch or a quick, nutritious midweek supper. The combination of protein and artisan bread makes it both satisfying and energising for the day ahead. Serve simply with a few shavings of aged parmesan for a touch of Italian-style flair.
