Ingredients

  • 2 small (90 g each) store-bought naan breads
  • 250 g baby spinach leaves
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • ⅓ cup cup bacon jam (see recipe below)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese, plus extra to serve
  • Tabasco sauce (optional), to serve 
Bacon jam
  • 400 g bacon rashers, rind removed  
  • 2 brown onions, sliced
  • 100 g (½ cup) light brown sugar
  • 125 ml (½ cup) strong brewed black coffee
  • 125 ml (½ cup) water
  • 60 ml (¼ cup) apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

To make the bacon jam, roughly chop bacon. Heat a non-stick fry pan over a medium heat, add bacon and cook, stirring until bacon is tender, but not brown, about 8 minutes. Remove bacon from pan using a slotted spoon.

Pour out all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the frying pan.

Add onions to pan and cook over high heat until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in brown sugar. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring until onion is caramelised.

Stir in cooked bacon, coffee, water, vinegar and maple syrup. Reduce heat to the lowest setting and cook, stirring until thick and syrupy, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Spoon into a food processor and pulse until mixture is coarsely chopped. Spoon into a clean jar, seal and refrigerate. Eat within 2 weeks.

To make the breakfast pizzas, preheat oven to 190°C.

Rinse spinach in water, drain in a colander, then place into a saucepan over medium heat. Stir for 1-2 minutes or until spinach wilts. Remove from heat and cover saucepan. Stand for 2-4 minutes or until spinach is soft. Drain spinach through fine cotton muslin or a clean tea towel, making sure you remove all the liquid. Return to saucepan and toss through olive oil, mix until well combined.

Place naan breads onto a baking paper-lined baking tray.

Place bacon jam into a heatproof bowl or small saucepan and warm until easily spreadable. Spread over naan breads. Arrange spinach over pizzas, forming a well in the centre for an egg.One at a time, crack an egg into a jug or cup, then carefully slip egg into centre of pizza.

Sprinkle each pizza with parmesan and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until egg is cooked to your liking. Serve with extra cheese and Tabasco sauce if desired.
