Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 slices fresh soft sandwich bread (white, wholemeal, or wholegrain)
- 6 slices streaky bacon, rind removed
- 1 large egg
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) butter
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk (full cream or low fat)
Seasoning:
- 1 pinch of salt
Serving (Optional):
- Nachos Cheese Dip
Instructions
- Trim the bread crusts and gently flatten each slice using a rolling pin to create an even surface.
- Prepare the egg mixture by whisking together egg, milk, and salt in a wide, shallow dish that allows full submersion of the roll-ups.
- Sear bacon in a large pan over high heat until lightly browned but still pliable, approximately 1-2 minutes per side.
- Position a bacon slice in the center of each flattened bread slice, then carefully roll into a tight cylinder with the seam facing downward.
- Clean the pan and melt butter over medium heat, ensuring even coating.
- Thoroughly dunk each roll-up into the egg mixture, rotating gently to ensure complete coverage and seal the seam securely.
- Carefully place roll-ups in the heated pan, cooking for 3-4 minutes and rotating periodically to achieve uniform golden-brown coloration on all sides.
- Transfer the crispy roll-ups to a serving plate and accompany with warm Nachos Cheese Dip for an indulgent touch.
Notes
- Customize bread selection for different dietary needs by using gluten-free, whole wheat, or sourdough alternatives to standard white bread.
- Control bacon crispness by adjusting cooking time, allowing softer or crunchier textures based on personal preference.
- Prevent roll-ups from unraveling by ensuring egg mixture thoroughly coats and seals the bread’s seam during cooking.
- Experiment with filling variations like adding cheese, herbs, or swapping bacon for turkey or vegetarian protein options to create unique flavor profiles.
