Instructions
step 1 Cut a quarter from a full loaf of white bread and hollow out the center, creating space for fillings while leaving the base intact.
step 2 Optional: Lightly butter and toast the inside of the bread on a pan or griddle for added crispness.
step 3 Start layering with a drizzle of tomato sauce, mayo, or atchar at the base.
step 4 Add a layer of fries, followed by shredded lettuce.
step 5 Stack on the cooked bacon and sliced beef or sausage.
step 6 Top with a slice of cheese and the fried egg if using.
step 7 Add more sauce over the top and replace the hollowed bread or a slice of toasted bread as the lid.
step 8 Press gently, secure with a skewer or toothpick, and serve hot.
