The Ultimate Bacon-Leftovers Sandwich

By diana | Published January 22, 2011

Ingredients for one sandwich:

  • 1 baguette
  • 2 slices of bacon, fried and diced
  • 1-2 slices of cooked chicken leftovers, cut small
  • 1-2 slices of ham, diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • paprika

Fry the bacon over high heat until it gets really crispy, then dice it. It’s much better to fry the whole bacon slices rather than dice them prior to frying, because you’ll end up with much less oil in your food.

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with parsley, chicken bits, ham and bacon. Add a teaspoon of mustard. Mix it very well, until it looks like a creamy sauce with bits of meat in it.

Slice a pocket in the baguette, spoon the mayonnaise mix inside and sprinkle some paprika on top.

I love this sandwich recipe because it helps me “clean” the fridge after Christmas and other holidays, when we usually end up with lots of chicken, turkey or ham leftovers. Occasionally, I like to chop a small red onion and mix it into the mayonnaise dressing.

Egg-Bacon Toasties

By diana | Published January 19, 2011

Ingredients for two sandwiches:

  • 4 slices of bread, toasted
  • 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
  • 2 fried eggs (fresh, free range eggs are best)
  • 2 bacon slices, crispy, freshly cooked
  • 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup

Directions:
Toast the bread and spread a very thin layer of mayonnaise on each slice. Put each fried egg on a slice of toast, cover it with a slice of crispy bacon, then sprinkle it with some ketchup and cover with the second slice of toast. These toasties are best when egg yolks are runny, so make sure not to overcook them. The bacon needs to be freshly cooked and crispy. It’s best to put it on a paper towel just after cooking, so the oil gets drained.
