11 Perfect Combinations of the Golden Trio: Bacon, Egg and Cheese

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at St Andrews chapter.

Eggs and cheese should be staple in everyone’s diet. My flatmate is dairy free, yet still seems to have cheese in the fridge. When you add bacon to the combination, you generally find yourself indulging in perfection. But every now and then, we all need to spice up our cooking a little bit. Well you’ve come to the right place. I present the ultimate BEC (can we make this a thing?) inspiration.

#SpoonTip: If you’re a vegetarian (why are you reading this?) try switching out the bacon for spinach in some of the recipes.

Is it savoury? Is it sweet? Is it a sandwich or a snack? I guess we could just settle on perfect.
