(Next time you grill sausages or bacon, keep the dripping fat, and mix with olive oil to form a smooth paste to keep in fridge.)

1. Spread dripping// or just olive oil on a slice of bread. 2. Season with sea salt and Black pepper and a few italian mixed herbs. 3. Grill under the grill, until browned on top 4. Serve on own, or with creamed cheese spread.

Enjoy! Absolutely delicious, and only half the fat of fried bread!
