Method
- Preheat the grill to medium-high, then grill the bacon for 3-4 minutes until cooked to your liking. Put the bacon rashers on a plate and drizzle over the maple syrup, then turn to coat evenly.
- Butter the bread. Add the tomato slices and arrange the avocado on top. Season well and top with the warm bacon, drizzling over any maple syrup left on the plate.
- Heat a little vegetable or sunflower oil in a small frying pan and crack the egg into the hot oil. Using a fork, break the egg yolk and lightly swirl in the centre. Cook for 1 minute, then flip the egg over and cook for a further 30 seconds* before placing on top of the bacon. Top with the remaining slice of bread, then halve the sandwich and serve immediately.
