Bacon & Egg Ciabatta With Caramelised Marmite Onions & Smoky Ketchup

Rise and shine! Before you begin…

Skim through these steps and get all your equipment ready, then wash your fruit and veg

Once done, simply dig in or wrap up ready for your day!

Now, let's get started!

Preheat the oven to 200ºC/ 180ºC (fan), gas 6

Peel and finely slice your brown onion[s]

Heat a large, wide-based pot (preferably non-stick) with a small drizzle of olive oil and a small knob of butter over a medium heat

Once hot, add the sliced onion with a pinch of sugar

Reduce the heat to low and cook the onion for 8-10 min or until caramelised

Meanwhile, add your smoked streaky bacon to one side of a baking paper-lined baking tray

Tip: Cooking for 3 or more? Use 2 trays!

Put the tray[s] in the oven for an initial 10 min or until golden and crispy

While the bacon is in the oven, wash your salad, then pat dry with kitchen paper

Slice your ciabatta[s] in half and add (cut side up!) to a separate tray

After the bacon has had 10 min, remove the tray[s] from the oven

Crack your egg[s] onto the tray[s]

Tip: Give your egg a little shake before you crack for a perfectly centred yolk!

Put the tray[s] with the bacon & egg and the tray of ciabatta in the oven for 3-5 min or until the egg is done to your liking and the ciabatta is warmed through

Add your ground smoked paprika and a small knob of butter to a small bowl and microwave for 30 secs or until melted

Add your tomato ketchup and 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] cold water to the bowl with the melted paprika butter and whisk until thoroughly combined – this is your smoky ketchup

Stir your Marmite through your caramelised onions – these are your caramelised Marmite onions

Spread a knob of butter over the toasted ciabatta halves
