Method

Heat the grill to medium-high, then cook the bacon for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crisp.
Meanwhile, heat the lard or oil in a large non-stick pan over a medium heat. Crack in the eggs, then reduce the heat and cook for 2-3 minutes until the white is set.
Spread each slice of sourdough toast with a lick of butter and the mustard. Top with 2 cheddar slices, 2 grilled bacon rashers and a fried egg. Season, then serve.
