Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces back bacon rashers
- 2 slices soft white bread
- 10 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons ketchup or brown sauce
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Place the back bacon rashers into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they begin to crisp.
Flip the bacon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the desired level of crispiness is achieved.
While the bacon cooks, lightly butter one side of each slice of bread for extra flavor.
Once the bacon is ready, remove it from the pan and let it drain briefly on a paper towel to remove excess grease.
Lay the cooked bacon onto one slice of bread, buttered side up.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of either ketchup or brown sauce over the bacon, depending on your preference.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the bacon for seasoning.
Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side down, creating a sandwich.
Cut the sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately while the bacon is hot and the bread is soft.
