Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare our stars: bacon and any leftover vegetables you have in the fridge. Cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces, and finely chop the onion and carrot. Don’t worry if you don’t have these exact ingredients; feel free to use whatever vegetables you have on hand – it will still be delicious! This is a great recipe to get creative with.
Step 2
Next, we’ll make the Sriracha mayo sauce that adds a wonderful flavor boost. In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp of mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp of Sriracha chili sauce, and 1 Tbsp of oligodang. Mix them well until smooth. The spicy kick from the Sriracha, the creaminess of the mayonnaise, and the sweetness of the oligodang create a fantastic combination. If you don’t have Sriracha, ketchup is a good substitute.
Step 3
Now, let’s start cooking! Heat a pan over medium heat and add a little cooking oil, followed by 15g of butter. Once the butter melts, add the chopped bacon and cook until it’s nicely browned. As the bacon releases its fat, add the minced onion and carrot. Sauté them together until the onion becomes translucent and the carrot softens. A helpful tip: using both cooking oil and butter prevents the butter from burning too quickly while adding great flavor.
Step 4
Once the ingredients are nicely sautéed, gently push them to one side of the pan. Crack two eggs into the cleared space. As the eggs begin to cook, sprinkle a little salt over them for extra flavor.
Step 5
When the eggs are about half-cooked, carefully place one slice of bread on top of the eggs. Tilt the pan slightly and use a spatula to gently flip the bread over the eggs. Spread a generous amount of the Sriracha mayo sauce you prepared onto the flipped bread. Then, place a slice of cheese on top. The melting cheese will add a wonderful richness.
Step 6
Finally, fold the bread in half to enclose the fillings, pressing down gently to prevent the sauce and cheese from spilling out. Cook on both sides until golden brown and slightly crispy. Flip it occasionally and press down gently. You’ll have a delicious Bacon One-Pan Toast with a crispy exterior and a warm, savory interior. Enjoy it immediately while it’s hot!
