Its been a bit of a busy old weekend at Cook's Harbour so I haven't had much time for bloggin, but here is a variation on our traditional lazy Sunday breakfast just for the Bank Holiday.

Grill eight rashers of good quality bacon, I like maple or black treacle cured. While the bacon is under the grill cut four bagels in half (this time they were poppy seed with carmalised garlic and onion yummy) and grate a lump of mature cheddar (Wexford, Davidstowe or Canadian are good)into a bowl. Mix in a good handfull of chopped chives and pile this over the open top half of the bagel.

Now spread a thin film of brown sauce (optional) over the lower half of the bagel and place two cooked rashers on each, stick the cheesy halves under the grill for a few minutes to melt the cheese, then marry the two halves together. I like to use the same grill pan that I did the bacon in to flavour the bagel iids with the bacon fat.

Sling the cats/dogs/hyenas in the garden, then serve up in bed of course, with some freshly brewed coffee and maybe a Cook's Bloody Hell Mary!
