Cooking Steps

Bring on the Bacon
1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Chop each rasher of bacon in half widthways.

c) Lay the bacon in a single layer onto a lined baking tray and bake on the middle shelf of your oven until golden brown and crispy, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.

Slice the Avocado
2

a) Meanwhile, halve the avocado and remove the stone.

b) Use a tablespoon to scoop the flesh out onto a board, face-down.

c) Slice into 0.5cm thick slices.

Make the Chocolate Sauce
3

a) Pop a small saucepan on medium heat, add the creme fraiche and gently bring to a simmer, 2-4 mins.

b) While the creme fraiche simmers, pop the chocolate chips into a small bowl.

c) Once the creme fraiche has simmed, pour it over the chocolate chips.

d) Mix the chocolate and creme fraiche together until the chocolate is fully melted and combined, 1 min.

 

Get Cracking
4

a) Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

b) Once hot, crack in each egg (see pantry for amount), season with salt and pepper and cook for 4-5 mins, or until the egg white is cooked and the yolk is the firmness you desire. Lower the heat as needed. IMPORTANT: Ensure egg whites are fully cooked.

Warm the Buns and Waffles
5

a) While the eggs fry, halve the burger buns.

b) Pop the buns and 4 waffles into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins. TIP: Keep the remaining waffle for another recipe.

c) Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the fresh pesto with the mayo (see pantry for amount)

Assemble and Serve
6

a) Share the warmed buns between 2 serving plates. Place the avocado slices over the base of each bun and spread the pesto mayo over the lid of each bun.

b) Top the avocado with 4 halves of bacon each, followed by a fried egg. Sandwich on the bun lids.

c) Dollop the chocolate sauce evenly over the warm waffles, then stack 1 waffle on top of another, creating 2 waffle stacks. Share between 2 serving plates separate to your sandwiches.

d) Drizzle the salted caramel sauce over the chocolate waffle stacks to finish.

Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: The bacon, avocado, and pesto combination was surprisingly delightful, with the pesto adding a new level of taste.
  • Suggestions: Consider reducing the amount of chocolate drops in the sauce to about a quarter or less for a less intense flavour.
  • Portions: The waffles were filling and quite rich with the chocolate sauce.
