Egg and Canadian bacon sandwiches with avocado and tomato

Serve this ultra-satisfying breakfast sandwich with hot sauce on the side. For less mess on the go, use whole wheat pita pockets instead. Unlike smoked American-style bacon, Canadian bacon is cured but not smoked, making it more like ham than what most think of as bacon. It also comes from a leaner part of the pig, so has less fat and fewer calories than traditional bacon. If you’re in Canada and order Canadian bacon, don’t be put off by funny looks. There it is called back bacon or peameal instead. Now you know.
