Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • Olive oil, for greasing
  • 8 best quality rashers streaky bacon
  • 4 slices saganaki cheese, about 100 g each
  • 4 best quality crunchy white burger buns
  • Large handful baby spinach leaves
  • 2 vine-ripened tomatoes, sliced
  • 4 tinned pineapple rings
  • 4 tbsp kewpie (Japanese) mayo

Instructions

  1. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until done to your liking.
     
  2. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in another large frying pan or chargrill plate over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes or until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towel, then wipe out the pan and add another drizzle of oil. Add the saganaki and cook for about 3-4 minutes, trying not to meddle with it while a hard golden crust forms. Flip the cheese over and cook for another 2-3 minutes. It should be crisp and golden on the outside and deliciously molten inside.
     
  3. Heat the burger buns if desired, then place the cheese on the bases and top with the bacon, egg, spinach leaves, tomato slices, pineapple rings and mayo. Try not to sigh while you eat.
