Ingredients (Makes 1 sandwich)

1 egg
2 slices bacon
2 slices halloumi cheese
2 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 slices of your favorite bread (white, whole wheat, sourdough, etc.)

Instructions

1. Boil the Egg

Place the egg in a small saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 8–9 minutes for a firm yolk. Remove, cool under cold water, peel, and slice.

2. Cook the Bacon

While the egg is boiling, heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Set aside.

3. Grill the Halloumi & Tomatoes

In the same pan, add the halloumi slices and cherry tomato halves. Grill the halloumi for 1–2 minutes per side until golden. Let the tomatoes soften and slightly char, about 2 minutes.

4. Toast the Bread

Lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster or in the frying pan until golden brown and crisp.

5. Assemble the Sandwich

Start layering:

Place one slice of toasted bread on a plate.
Add the bacon, followed by the sliced boiled egg.
Top with grilled halloumi and the roasted cherry tomatoes.
Finish with the second slice of bread.

6. Serve & Enjoy!

Cut the sandwich in half if desired, and dig in while it’s warm and melty. Perfect with a fresh coffee or smoothie on the side.

Optional Add-Ons & Twists

Spread a little hummus or avocado on the bread for added creaminess.
Add arugula or baby spinach for a fresh crunch.
Use a soft-boiled egg for a runny yolk experience.
Try it in a pita or bagel for variation.

This sandwich is proof that breakfast doesn’t have to be complicated to be incredible. It’s got protein, flavor, and texture in every bite—ideal for busy mornings or slow weekend brunches. ☕💛
