Egg Bacon Blue Cheese Sandwich

Recipe: Egg Bacon Blue Cheese Sandwich

An explosive combination of salty, sweet umami flavours and various layers of texture

As far as sandwiches go, this truly is a gourmet eating experience. Starting with a homemade bacon jam that is sweet, salty, and soaked with a little brandy, this wonderful and versatile condiment is offset by the distinctive taste of sharp, creamy, and salty blue cheese.

Sandwich filling

Fried mushrooms give this sandwich its meaty base whilst spinach plays its role as the harmonious green side-kick to a crispy-but-gooey fried egg. All this goodness is sandwiched between crusty toasted bread making each mouthful more pleasurable than the last.

How to make Bacon Jam

You will need to make the bacon jam ahead of time, but don’t fear, it’s definitely worth the effort as this delicious condiment can be served in many ways such as a side to steak, burgers, cheeseboards, with pancakes and eggs or as a dip to fries and wedges. No doubt once you have a jar on the fridge, you will have no problem finding ways to eat it.
