Ingredients
  

  • 3 strips bacon cut in half crosswise
  • 100 g halloumi cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 30 g fresh spinach
  • 2 Tbsp kale pesto homemade or store-bought
  • 50 g avocado thinly sliced
  • 1 large egg fried
  • Maldon salt for serving, optional

Method
 

  1. Fry the bacon in a medium non-stick frying pan until crispy. Remove it from the pan and place it on a paper towel to drain.
  2. Keep the bacon fat in the pan and increase the heat to high. Season the halloumi with a pinch of salt and pepper, then add it to the pan and brown it on all sides. Remove it from the pan and set it aside with the bacon.
  3. Add the spinach to the hot pan and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until wilted, then remove it from the pan.
  4. To serve, spread the pesto in the centre of a plate. Layer the spinach, avocado, halloumi and bacon on top, then finish with the fried egg.
  5. Add a pinch of Maldon salt and freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
