Noit a recipe as such - just a great Sunday Morning combo..
Hangover Sandwich.
Bacon, American-style streaky
(a la Oscar Meyer)
Halloumi Cheese
Rocket
Sun-dried tomato in Oil / Sliced Tomato
Fresh Baguette
Creme Fraiche
KetchupPreparation.
Slice Halloumi into 0.5 - 1cm deep slices.
er.. Slice Baguette - but keep in one piece.Method.
Heat up a large saucepan to a medium-high heat, add a dash of olive oil. On one side of pan, dump halloumi cheese - in t'other, dump streaky bacon. Press down on bacon to push out animal oil and keep flush with pan base. Bacon should cook quicker, so monitor and turn as appropriate. Cheese should only need turning once, but should be seared to heck - almost as if it's burned beyond repair - but not so much that cheese fats turns overly sugary (smelling sweet = too carbonised). Once cooked, empty contents of pan onto plate, then place filleted Baguette, flesh side down, in pan - to soak up cooking fats and juices. Remove from pan, schlepp on Creme Fraiche, squeeze bacon and halloumi into baguette, liberally stuff nooks and crannies with rocket and tomato. A little ketchup (maybe even lemon juice and pepper if you're into that sort of thing) to taste.Best served alongside a nice long glass of cool water which, together with the high salt, fat and sugar content of the ingredients makes for a highly isotonic recovery plan.
