BREAKFAST sandwiches

With a range of breads and fillings to choose from, breakfast sandwiches can be catered to any taste and need. They offer you a chance to start your day with lean protein, fibre, valuable nutrition and wondrous tastes. The added bonus is that while you would ideally like to sit and savour every meal, sometimes breakfast in particular can be rushed so something healthy that you can have on the go is a great way to start your day. The possibilities for breakfast sandwiches are really only limited by your imagination but to get you started try our: tortilla BLAT; bacon benny bagel; curried egg toast; turkey meatball banh mi; omelette, sundried tomato pesto and rocket sandwich; avocado, halloumi and rocket on rye; baked beans, cheese and spinach toastie; or some spicy Mexican breakfast wraps.

Eggs Benedict with bacon meets a bagel and they become friends for life. Using my easy 30-second hollandaise, this recipe is the perfect brunch sandwich.

Serves: 4

30-Second Hollandaise

120g butter, melted

3 egg yolks

1 tbsp lemon juice Salt & pepper, to taste

8 rashers bacon

4 eggs

4 bagels

2 cups baby rocket or spinach leaves

1. Take a large-mouthed mason jar, or anyjar that your hand blender will comfortably fit inside.

2. Place the butter, egg yolks and lemon juice into the jar and combine with hand blender, using the blender carefully. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

3. Cook the bacon to desired level of crispness then remove from the pan and keep warm.

4. Fry the eggs in the hot bacon grease until the yolk is just set.

5. While the eggs cook, split and toast the bagels.

6. Place the rocket or spinach on the bagel and top with bacon and the fried egg.

7. Drizzle with hollandaise to serve.

Note: Leftover hollandaise can be kept in the jar, with a lid, in the fridge for up to 5 days. Gently warm before serving.
