Chef’s Tips

• Cook the bacon at a medium heat. High heat curls it and burns the fat.
• Butter to the edges. Every bite needs it.
• Use soft white bread. Anything crusty fights back.

Pairing Suggestions

• A mug of tea
• Fried eggs
• A grilled tomato

Storage & Reheating

Best eaten immediately. Refrigerate cooked bacon up to 4 days and reheat in a pan.
