BACON, EGG AND CHEESE FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Divide the naan between 2 foil-lined baking sheets and bake until crisp, about 10 minutes.

• Add the onion to the remaining drippings in the skillet and increase the heat to medium high. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until browned and tender, 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until most of the liquid evaporates, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce.
• Spread the onion-tomato mixture on the naan and top each with 2 slices cheese. Return to the oven until the cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the reserved bacon drippings in the empty skillet over medium-high heat and crack in the eggs. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the whites are just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
• Top each flatbread with a fried egg; sprinkle with the bacon. Toss the greens with the vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Serve the flatbreads with the salad and more hot sauce.
