BBQ Roasted Peameal Bacon Sandwich Stack
Inspired by Toronto’s love for our peameal bacon sandwiches! This recipe was created by Chef Matt Dean Pettit.
“A great take on a Canadian classic! I use the buns here as the hero as I build the sandwich stack with a bottom bun layer, slaw, thick cut peameal bacon, then another bottom bun piece, and repeat the steps. Top with a fried egg and close with a top portion of bun! Squeeze and enjoy the runny eggy, bacon goodness!
Pro tip: you will have 4 top buns left over which you can toast up, drizzle with olive oil, and use for delicious croutons!”

Directions
- Preheat the BBQ to 375º F (190º C)

- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded carrot, cabbage, mayo, lemon juice, hot sauce and salt and pepper, mix well. Set aside.
- Cook 4 eggs over easy, keep warm. Set aside.
- To build, butter each bun top and bottom. Take the bottom bun, top with slaw, add 1 piece of thick cut peameal. Repeat the steps again and finally top with fried egg and top portion bun.
