Tear the bread into smallish pieces and tip into a large bowl. Put the bacon in a shallow pan with a couple of tbsps of olive oil, and fry until golden. Remove from the pan and reserve.
Add the red pepper to the hot pan. When it starts to soften (about 10 minutes), add the chopped garlic and fry until lightly golden.
Put the bacon back in the pan with the torn bread and keep stirring until golden, add the paprika at the last minute. Divide between small plates and add a fried egg. Sprinkle over a little more paprika to serve.
