r/Bacon

I'm really particular about how my bacon and egg sarnie is prepared! Here is my step by step to an acceptable sandwich...

The egg: Fried in butter. I spoon the hot butter over the top while it cooks so the yolk stays runny but there’s none of that slimy, uncooked white on top.

The bread: Two slices of white bread with a THICK layer of butter.

The bacon: Cooked in a preheated air drier for 6-8 minutes. It has to be crisp, squidgy fat makes it disgusting.

The assembly: center the yolk on the bread, then trim the edges of the white to fit the bread, using the extra bits to fill in any gaps.

Two slices of bacon top and tail on the egg. One crispy fat side points to the middle, the other points out.

Top bread goes on, I squash all the edges down, and flip the whole thing over.

Cut down the centre, so it cuts the centre of the yolk and both halves have the same amount of yolk and bacon. No sauce! The butter and yolk is my sauce.

For me it's about consistency throughout the sandwich and eliminating gross textures like the slimy of uncooked egg white or the squishiness of non-crisped fat! Today's (pictured) wasnt as runny yolk as I like, but it was acceptable!

Does anyone else have any precision assembly routine for sandwiches or other meals? I'd love to hear about them!

Bacon Everything Flatbread Pizza from Tim Hortons with habanero dip and a honey cruller to cleanse the palate. Doesn't look like their menu photo at all (second photo). Very creamy ... would've wanted more bacon to cut through the creaminess. Sweetness of the cruller was able to clear off that greasy aftertaste.

That’s a butterscotch chip…:)

Hi guys. I had such awesome bacon yesterday.

I was having a stressful day so that it helped a bit.

The smell in the house was so lovely. 😍

You could never make us angry amigo !!

Sunday is fun day !

I made a candied bacon display for a 40th birthday party. It was easy to just snatch a piece off.

Really enjoy this bacon. I like that I can really get some color on them but, they still keep a chewiness.

I happened to grab a bag of center cut out of the freezer for burgers. Apple smoked Colby cheese. 3½ hour smoke on the cheese and 8 hours cold smoke on the bacon.

Tell me all your favourite things to wrap in bacon! Mine are beef tenderloin and chicken bites with a little cream cheese

Nice and crispy. Went welll with runny scrambled eggs.

Gotta love a training session that is fully catered. There goes my intermittent fasting!

Hotel breakfast buffets can be a hit or miss on the crispiness factor. This was right after they refilled it and I had to dig down to get to the doneness I prefer.
