Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 slices Lean back bacon
- 2 slices Wholemeal bread
- 1 tablespoon Reduced-fat butter spread
- 1 tablespoon Tomato ketchup
- 1 pinch Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Remove any visible fat from the back bacon slices to reduce the fat content.
Place the bacon in the heated pan without adding any additional oil.
Cook the bacon for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through and starting to crisp up.
While the bacon is cooking, lightly toast the slices of wholemeal bread until they are just golden.
Spread a thin layer of reduced-fat butter on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
Once the bacon is cooked, transfer it onto one slice of buttered toast. Optionally, sprinkle the bacon with a pinch of freshly ground black pepper for added flavor.
Drizzle the tomato ketchup over the bacon evenly.
Place the second slice of toast on top to complete the sandwich.
Cut the bacon butty in half and serve immediately while warm.
