Step 2

Meanwhile, fry the streaky bacon in a dry pan until crispy. Set aside to drain on paper towels.

Step 3

Melt a little butter in a separate frying pan. Add a few apple slices, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon. Simmer until the apple slices are soft and caramelised.

Step 4

Dip the cheese slices in the whisked egg to coat all sides, then press into the sesame seeds until fully coated.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick frying pan over high heat until very hot. Add the cheese slices and cook until the sesame seeds are golden brown. Turn and cook the other side quickly, before the cheese melts completely.

Step 6

Drain the apples and potatoes and remove the cinnamon stick. Mash together until combined to your preferred texture. Season with salt and ground cinnamon to taste.

Step 7

Serve the mash topped with the crispy bacon, caramelised apple slices, and sesame-crusted cheese.
