3g Thyme
2g Cumin Powder
3g Smoked Paprika
5g Garlic (Crushed)
50ml Olive Oil
150g Beef Bacon
5Pcs. Whole eggs (Fried)

Breakfast Brown Sauce:

50ml HP Sauce

1) Shawarma Stack: Marinate the chicken breast with the spices together with the olive oil overnight. Gently stack them up on a Shawarma pole alternating beef bacon and the chicken. Cook in the Shawarma machine and carve the meat as needed. If Shawarma machine is not available an alternative could be pan searing the chicken and the beef bacon then slicing them in strips ready for the Shawarma wrap.
2) For the egg, pan fry the eggs until well done and slice them into strips. Set aside for later use.
3) Breakfast Brown Sauce: In a bowl, mix all the ingredients vigorously and season to taste. Set aside for later use.
4) Assemble the Shawarma by placing the pita bread, add a bed of lettuce, then add in the sliced tomatoes and egg strips, add in the bacon and chicken; and finally finish it off with the breakfast brown sauce. Roll the wrap tightly and place it on a hot skillet or pan to give it a crisp hot finish. Serve immediately.
