bacon and egg breakfast tarts (there's a tart in my bed!)

watch out for crumbs between the sheets

yes, it's back to the 'bake in the bread' school of cooking

scoop: the top and bread out of a kaiser roll. butter the inside and (if you like) sprinkle some grated parmesan or asiago inside

crack: an egg into the hollow bread roll. top with a slice of bacon, prosciutto or pancetta. sprinkle some salt, pepper and nutmeg on top

bake: 15-20 minutes in a hot oven (400). top with some good home made tomato relish

further adventures with mayonnaise: this is my mad monkey's mayo. fry some red chili peppers in olive oil. cover. let them blister and scorch a little. add some garlic. chop the stems off the cooked chilies and discard. throw the chilies in a blender with a jar of mayonnaise. depending on the chilies, this will have you jumping up and down yelping 'eei eei eei' like a chimpanzee. (but it's bloody good with eggs and bacon)
