"BLT on T" - Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato on Toast

  "BLT on T".  The first time I had this was when I was 11 years old at my friends house.  Her dad is American and they ate this often.  

My version is bacon, lettuce, tomato on toast with the addition of a fried egg, avocado and cheese.  The secret is frying the egg on a medium heat in animal fat and topping with ranch dressing and cracked pepper.

Baked Potatoes

When I think of baked potatoes I think of too much work or too messy.  These are neither!  They are easy and delicious.

To cut these potatoes slice a small sliver off one side so the potato sits flat, place chopsticks either side, cut across the potato to form 5mm slices

1. Wash the potatoes and cut them as explained above.  Place in a roasting pan.
2. Brush with melted butter or melted lamb fat and sprinkle with a little salt.
3. Cover, and place in the oven at 220 degrees C for 45 minutes.
4. Uncover and cook for another 15 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked.
5. Remove from the oven and brush them again with butter or fat.
6. Sprinkle with a topping of breadcrumbs, herbs, and grated Parmesan cheese.  
7. Return to the oven and grill until the crumb mixture is golden.

Serve with sour cream, sweet Thai Chili sauce, and steamed red onion and capsicum.

Bacon and Egg Bake

I really like bacon and egg pie.  Last night I just ran out of time so I threw together this and it worked perfectly!

1. Cook 6 slices of bacon that have been chopped up into small cubes.  Put them into a well greased deep oven dish like a loaf pan.
2. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of frozen corn in with the bacon.  Add some onion diced up.
3. Crack 8 eggs over the top and move them about with a soup spoon to ensure they fill in all the gaps.
4. Sprinkle breadcrumbs and herbs on the top.
5. Cook for 30 minutes at 180 - 220 degrees C

Done and delicious!
