GOOD MORning! It’s that time of the week again – Bacon for Saturday morning breakfast! Remember that post a couple weeks ago where I ridiculed my bacon-obsessed boyfriend for his bacon tuna confession?! Well, I had enough of you crazy bacon loving readers tell me that it’s actually good, and I should try it. So what did I do – no challenge goes undone! I searched for a bacon tuna recipe, but realized I didn’t have much around the house, was starved and too lazy to go to the grocery store to whip up something fancy. So I opted for the easy peasy bacon tuna melt panini that I found on this lovely blog (with a few Je twists, of course). I’m calling it…

I started with whipping up some tuna (two pickles per can. I like high pickle to tuna ratio). I then took a whole wheat hot dog bun from Trader Joe’s (because I refuse to put refined carbs in my mouth, well, unless it’s pizza or mac and cheese, or a cheeseburger. Argh. Nevermind. I try to eat complex carbs, and these are great cause they’re hot dog buns that can double as sandwich hoagies). Then I spread a little mayo on the buns. (Buns. Haha.).

Next I added the tuna, some cheese (orange) and two pieces of bacon. I poured a little olive oil in a frying pan and carefully grilled that sandwich that way since I don’t have a panini press. I got the idea from this great chart that tells you how to create paninis with different appliances around the house.

After a minute or so on each side, I had a bacon tuna perfection!

And I’m not just saying this for the ratings… or shits and giggles… it was GOOD. I am now a complete bacon tuna convert. Dammit! I hate it when I’m wrong. I loved it so much that I’ll definitely be exploring a few more tuna bacon concoctions. (Just don’t tell my boyfriend).
