4th Bang

The Muse

(Before you start, preheat your oven to 190 degrees Celsius)

Ingredients:

2 x slices of bread (I recommend Albany Wholewheat/Seed loaf/Rye Bread)

Mayonnaise (ESSENTIAL)

3-4 rashers of bacon (I recommend Back/Shoulder bacon)

1/2 a Tomato

1/2 an Onion

3-4 Shrooms

1/2 an Avocado (OPTIONAL)

2-3 T of Balsamic Vinegar

Cayenne Pepper

Black Pepper

Oregano/Mixed Herbs

Pinch Of Salt

1/2 cup of grated cheese (I recommend Mozzarella)

Olive Oil

Fresh Garlic

Fresh Ginger

Step 1:

Butter one side of each slice of bread and place them in the oven to bake until toasty brown (approx. 12 minutes)

Step 2:

Sautee your Julienne (Go back to 2nd BANG! for guidelines) onions in some olive oil, fresh garlic and fresh ginger

Add some mixed herbs and Cayenne pepper to your pan and sautee until slightly golden

Add some chopped shrooms to your pan and sautee with the rest of your ingredients until the water (released by the shrooms) has mostly evaporated

Add your bacon to the pan and fry at at medium heat

If your pan starts to lose a bit of moisture, add a few drops of water as well as some more Olive oil

IT SHOULD BE TIME TO REMOVE YOUR BREAD FROM THE OVEN

IF NOT, KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON IT AND REMOVE WHEN IT IS TOASTED TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT.

Step 3:

Let your ingredients cook until the bacon is slightly crispy

Add your chopped tomatoes and mash them in your pan until soft

Make sure to mash all the ingredients together where possible

When your bacon is crispy and mauve in colour, add 2t of balsamic vinegar and once again sautee your mixture at a medium heat

Step 4:

Remove your pan from the hot plate and grate in and mix your cheese into the pan until it has melted completely

Allow your sandwich filling to cook whilst you prepare the base

Step 5:

Lightly spread some mayonnaise on each slice of toast

Slowly pour your fillings onto the one slice, spreading each ingredient evenly across the face of your toast

Put the remaining slice of toast, face down on the the other and cut your sandwich.(I recommend diagonally)

OPTIONAL: If you are a fan of the Avocado, feel free to add some cold, sliced avocado to your sandwich before closing and cutting it :)

 I hope you enjoy this simple process of making the Bacon Sandwich.

Guten Appetit!
