Best Bacon Buttie Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the bacon under a preheated oven grill for seven minutes at about 240C/475F - turning half way through the cooking time.
• Cook until crispy, but not burnt or too dry.
• (You can also fry the bacon in a pan if you wish).
• Butter the two slices of bread and place the grilled or fried bacon inside the two slices of bread to make a sandwich.
• Add sauces to taste.
• Enjoy!
• The bread can also be toasted if you wish! And, you can make this sandwich with a crusty bread roll.
• The Scientist's Formula:.
• Four researchers at the Department of Food Science at Leeds University in the UK spent more than 1,000 hours testing 700 variations on the traditional bacon sandwich.
• They tried different types and cuts of bacon, cooking techniques, types of oil and a range of cooking times at different temperatures.
• A shortlist was then tested with computers to measure the texture of each sandwich.
• Fifty volunteers also judged each sandwich according to its taste, texture and flavour.
• The formula is: N = C + {fb (cm) . fb (tc)} + fb (Ts) + fc . ta, where N=force in Newtons required to break the cooked bacon, fb=function of the bacon type, fc=function of the condiment/filling effect, Ts=serving temperature, tc=cooking time, ta=time or duration of application of condiment/filling, cm=cooking method, C=Newtons required to break uncooked bacon.

Steps:

• 1. Grill or fry the bacon to your liking but not too dry and crisp.
• 2. Put it between the slices of bread and spread with HP sauce or whatever you choose.
• 3. Slice in half and enjoy.
• 4. Substitutions: Not traditional but you could add a slice of real cheese (not cheese food); different breads or rolls; different sauces such as chili sauce or dijon mustard.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven grill to medium-high and cook the bacon until done- crisp but not dry. This should take 5-10 minutes.
• Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over one side of each slice of bread.
• Top the mayonnaise with a thin layer of ketchup.
• Place the bacon on one slice of bread and top with the other slice of bread.
• Cut in half diagonally and serve hot!
• NB Best served with a hot cup of tea!

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs and milk with the sugar in a bowl. Soak the white sliced bread in the mixture.
• Heat 1 tbsp of the butter in a non-stick frying pan and fry two slices of the soaked bread on a low-medium heat until golden and crisp, about 3-4 mins on each side. Remove from the pan and sandwich 2 slices of bacon between the slices of French toast. Repeat with the remaining soaked bread to make the other sandwich.
• Serve with a dusting of icing sugar and a drizzle of syrup.

Steps:

• Heat a griddle or frying pan, then cook the bacon for 3 mins each side or until golden and crisp.
• Cut 6 thick slices from the loaf and butter each one on one side. Spread the chutney evenly over 3 slices of the bread and top each with 2 rashers of bacon. Top with the other slices of bread, buttered side down, then press together well.
• Return the butties to the pan over a medium heat (you'll have to do this in batches), then toast for 2-3 mins each side until golden. Remove from pan, then rub both sides with cut side of the garlic clove. Cut the butties in half and serve straight away.
