EGG SALAD AND BACON SANDWICH

THE GREAT BRITISH BACON BUTTY - BACON SANDWICH
The news is out - scientists at my old university, (Leeds University in West Yorkshire) have discovered the PERFECT way to make a "Bacon Butty", that quintessential British sandwich, and they have devised a mathematical formula for it!! The bacon butty is one of my FAVOURITE sandwiches of all times.......especially when doused in HP Sauce or Worcestershire Sauce! Here is my method - it's hardly a recipe, more of an idea and an assembly job! I have posted their mathematical formula at the end of the recipe - my formula is: Eat your bacon butty whilst it's still hot and crispy!! Please increase the quantities as needed. I like to use smoked bacon, but any good quality dry cure bacon will be fine.

Steps:
- Cook the bacon under a preheated oven grill for seven minutes at about 240C/475F - turning half way through the cooking time.
- Cook until crispy, but not burnt or too dry.
- (You can also fry the bacon in a pan if you wish).
- Butter the two slices of bread and place the grilled or fried bacon inside the two slices of bread to make a sandwich.
- Add sauces to taste.
- Enjoy!
- The bread can also be toasted if you wish! And, you can make this sandwich with a crusty bread roll.
- The Scientist's Formula:.
- Four researchers at the Department of Food Science at Leeds University in the UK spent more than 1,000 hours testing 700 variations on the traditional bacon sandwich.
- They tried different types and cuts of bacon, cooking techniques, types of oil and a range of cooking times at different temperatures.
- A shortlist was then tested with computers to measure the texture of each sandwich.
- Fifty volunteers also judged each sandwich according to its taste, texture and flavour.
- The formula is: N = C + {fb (cm) . fb (tc)} + fb (Ts) + fc . ta, where N=force in Newtons required to break the cooked bacon, fb=function of the bacon type, fc=function of the condiment/filling effect, Ts=serving temperature, tc=cooking time, ta=time or duration of application of condiment/filling, cm=cooking method, C=Newtons required to break uncooked bacon.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, 3 to 4 minutes. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour in 1 cup buttermilk, and stir just until combined.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat and roll into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out 6 biscuits. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and brush the top of each biscuit with remaining buttermilk.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool.
- Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
- Combine eggs and water in a bowl and whisk vigorously until smooth; set aside. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Swirl skillet to coat with butter; heat until just barely bubbling. Pour eggs into the center of the skillet, so butter gets pushed out to the sides.
- Cook until edges of the eggs barely start to set. Gently scramble all the way around the pan using a spatula, creating large, soft curds. Sprinkle cheese onto the eggs at this point. Continue cooking, pausing in between to allow time for the cheese to melt and eggs to firm, gently pushing and folding the eggs to form large curds, about 3 minutes total. Do not allow the eggs to cook completely or eggs will turn chewy and rubbery. Remove from heat.
- Slice biscuits in half and top bottom halves with scrambled eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Add 2 bacon pieces per biscuit, and finish with the biscuit tops. Serve immediately.

ROAST TURKEY, AVOCADO AND BACON SANDWICH
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- To prepare the Roast Turkey: toss the herbs and butter into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until green and smooth. Rub the turkey breast with half of the herbed butter and with salt and pepper. Place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan and put in the oven. Let the turkey cook for 1 hour, basting every 20 minutes with the butter and pan juices. The turkey is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Let rest for 15 minutes on the cutting board.
- To assemble the sandwich: spread a thin layer of the remaining butter on 1 piece of the bread. Place 1 slice of the cheese and several slices of the turkey breast on unbuttered side of the bread. Peel and slice the avocado, toss with the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add avocado slices, crispy bacon slices, lettuce and another slice of fontina cheese to the top of that. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Slather the remaining piece of bread with the butter and place on unbuttered side out, on top of the bacon.
- Heat a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, swirling the pan around to coat. Put the sandwich in the pan and weigh it down with a heavy pot or can (or wrap an ordinary brick in aluminum foil and set it on top to compress the sandwich.) Toast for 1 minute, turn the sandwich over before the bread begins to burn. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve.

Steps:
- Spread 2 teaspoons mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice. Slice tomatoes at least 1/4 inch thick, and layer on one of the pieces of bread. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place bacon and lettuce leaves over tomatoes. Top with remaining piece of bread, and cut sandwich in half.
Tips:
- For the best bacon sandwich, start with high-quality ingredients. Look for thick-cut bacon that is well-marbled with fat, and use good-quality bread that is sturdy enough to hold up to the bacon and toppings.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy but not overcooked. Overcooked bacon will be tough and chewy, and it will not have as much flavor.
- Use a variety of toppings to create a delicious and flavorful bacon sandwich. Some popular options include: fried eggs, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and avocado.
- Season the bacon sandwich to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
- Serve the bacon sandwich immediately while the bacon is still hot and crispy.
