Ingredients

Method

Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a small frying pan. Fry the bacon over a medium heat, turning occasionally, until cooked to your liking. Drain on kitchen paper and keep warm.
Increase the heat to high, add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pan and fry the egg for 2-3 minutes (for a runny yolk).
To assemble, spread the toasted bread with the ketchup/sauce, add the grated beetroot and bacon, then the egg. Slice and enjoy with more ketchup on the side.
