Method
- Halve and toast 4 hot cross buns.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp rapeseed oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Fry streaky bacon, turning occasionally, for 3-4 mins or until cooked to your liking. Drain off most of the fat, then add 1 tbsp maple syrup to the pan. Stir to coat the bacon, then fry for another 30 secs; transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Wipe out the frying pan, add 2 tsp rapeseed oil and return to a medium heat. Crack in the eggs and fry for 2-3 mins until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft. Meanwhile, cut the tomatoes into 8 thick slices; season and set aside.
- To assemble, arrange your watercress across the hot cross bun bases. Top each with 2 tomato slices, 2 slices of bacon and a fried egg; top with the bun lid.
