Ingredients
Smoky barbecue relish
Method
Main
1.For smoky barbecue relish, heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat and sauté onion and garlic until just tender (2-3 minutes), add paprika and chilli flakes and sauté until fragrant (1 minute). Add tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce and herbs, season to taste and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced to a sauce consistency (5-6 minutes). Add remaining ingredients and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick (3-4 minutes). Check seasoning and set aside until required. Makes 1½ cups and will keep refrigerated for 2 weeks.
2.Heat half the oil in a large frying pan, add bacon and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked to your liking (3-4 minutes for semi-crisp). Drain on paper towels and keep warm.
3.Wipe pan with paper towels, add remaining oil, crack in eggs and cook over medium-high heat to your liking (3-4 minutes for soft yolks).
4.To serve, top 4 slices buttered toast with a dollop of relish, some bacon and a fried egg. Season to taste, then sandwich with remaining slices and serve hot.
