Meat RECIPE

BLT Bagel

In Australia, I grew up eating bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches. Recently, whilst on the road shooting my new cookbook 'Open Skies', I devised this mash-up of two of my favourite foods; BLTs and toasted bagels with cream cheese. You must try this for your next brunch, perhaps with a blood orange Bellini on the side.
