Author Notes: This breakfast sandwich is tangy, silky and salty. It's served best on a fresh ciabatta roll, so if you can find take and bake rolls I suggest that. Quality bacon is key to this recipe - uncured, local bacon is my preference. - pipsplate

Serves 2

  • 2 fresh ciabatta rolls
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 pieces uncured bacon
  • 2 handfuls curly endive, frisee or other bitter salad green
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon mayonnaise
  • 2 large eggs
  1. If you have take and bake ciabatta rolls, follow the directions on the package to warm up.
  2. Slice rolls in half and spread butter on each half. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and toast each roll half. Set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Make the dressing for the greens: combine 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 Tablespoon red wine vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon mayo. Whisk this together until well combined. Roughly chop the greens and toss with dressing.
  5. Fill a medium saute pan with about 2 inches of water and bring to a slow boil. When water is boiling, add one egg and poach. Keep the water to a low boil and, using a spoon, gently spoon hot water over the top of the egg to cook it. Cook each egg for about 1 minute for over easy.
  6. Assemble the sandwich: on one half of each roll layer 2 slices of bacon, 1 egg, and half of the greens. Top with the other roll half.

What is a take and bake ciabatta roll?

Some grocery stores offer "take and bake" breads. This means that the bread is partially baked, and all you have to do it put it in an oven for a short time (generally 8 - 14 minutes).

Awww thanks! Even though I already took a bite, the runny yolk was too tempting not to put this pic up.
