The Ultimate breakfast sandwiches

If I had to only eat one meal for the rest of my life, it would be breakfast. I adore breakfast. In every way, shape and form. There’s just nothing like a good, perfectly cooked egg with some crusty bread and maybe a bit of bacon and oooh some roasted tomatoes and mushrooms… See? I’m a bit obsessed. And then something else I could also eat for the rest of my life are sandwiches. Good grief, I love a good sandwich. Whether it be the simplest white bread with bovril or a full on steak sarmie with all the trimmings, I could have them all day, every day. “So why not combine the two?” I hear you say. Well I’m right there with you.

What could be better than a proper English-style breakfast with all the trimmings on bread? Not much, to be honest. This is just the perfect sandwich and such a great way to serve your regular breakfast. Every bite is filled with salty, smokiness from the bacon, sweetness from the tomatoes and mushrooms and creaminess from the perfectly fried eggs. Add to that the crunch from the bread and the smooth, silkyness of the mayo and I mean, perfection, right? Right!
