15-Minute Bacon and Cheese Flatbreads
Crispy on the outside and gooey in the middle, these toasted flatbreads turn simple morning ingredients into something special. Smoky bacon medallions and rich Red Leicester cheese melt together inside a warm, pan-toasted pocket. You'll love how the skillet creates a satisfying crunch that contrasts with the melted center. They're hearty enough for a weekend brunch but fast enough to pull off on a busy Tuesday morning.
Ingredients
- 8 smoked bacon medallions
- 4 slices (100g) Red Leicester cheese
- 4 small, folded flatbreads
Instructions
- 1Coat a large frying pan with spray oil and place it over medium heat. Cook the smoked bacon medallions for 3 to 4 minutes per side until they're fully cooked and crisp.
- 2Transfer the bacon to a plate and carefully wipe the inside of the pan clean using a paper towel. Wiping the pan prevents leftover bacon fat from burning during the next step.
- 3Tuck the cooked bacon and slices of Red Leicester cheese inside the folded flatbreads. Return the assembled flatbreads to the pan and toast them for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until the bread turns crispy and the cheese melts completely.
Notes
- Serving: Pair with chopped fresh fruit for a light morning meal, or add baked hash browns and sliced avocado for a heartier brunch.
- Best results: Enjoy these immediately after cooking while the cheese is still hot and gooey.
- Swap: If you can't find Red Leicester, sharp cheddar or Gouda makes a great substitute.
