Cafe Cuil Pigs In Blankets Sandwich Recipe

Servings 1 person

Ingredients
  

  • 6 chipolata sausages
  • 4 streaky bacon rashers
  • 50 g fridge-cold salted butter cubed. 8–10 fresh sage leaves
  • olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • 2 large slices of fresh sourdough salt freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan.
  • Wrap the sausages with streaky bacon, rolling each one into a cosy blanket.
  • Place them onto a baking tray and cook in the oven for 20 minutes, until golden and crispy.
  • In the meantime, put a small pot onto a low heat and add 20g of the butter and the sage leaves.
  • Cook until the butter is melted and bubbling and the sage leaves have crisped up and darkened in colour.
  • Remove the sage butter from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
  • Then pour the sage butter into a bowl with the remaining cold butter and mix together vigorously until you have a smooth, spreadable butter with speckles of crispy sage leaves throughout.
  • Add a glug of olive oil to a frying pan over medium heat and fry your egg so it’s crispy around the edges.
  • To assemble the sandwich, spread your sourdough slices with sage butter, then put the pigs in blankets on one piece, followed by the fried egg.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then top with the second piece of sourdough and get stuck in.
