Comfort food – the bacon butty

Nothing says British breakfast more than a bacon butty, unless it’s a Full Monty but we don’t always have time or the inclination for such a belly buster. I do confess though I am fond of a twist to my bacon butty. My favourite is to add a little sharpness with cheese and a little sweetness with either maple or honey. I will take a nice tangy goats cheese and grill it when the bacon is cooked and just crispy, I’ll pop them on a pan de leche or brioche, lightly toasted, with a bit of rocket and a drizzle of maple syrup. Heaven on a plate.

Don’t stop there, this Honey Apple Cheddar and Bacon Panini recipe from Half Baked Harvest sounds just the ticket. I say recipe all grilled sandwiches are more an art of layering with very little cooking required. See the details here.

Now I have you hooked what delicious concoctions would you put together, I’m thinking a blue cheese with a fig chutney and bacon between a soft granary slice maybe, or, a brie and sweet onion chutney with bacon on an onion bagel? The options are limitless, tell me your favourite.
