Bacon Butties

Brown sauce. Anything else and you're going to Hell.

BURN THE WITCH!!!!!

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

No bacon on Christmas morning here, I do some Wholemeal toast allowed to cool then cut into 4 triangles buttered then spread with Philadelphia and a piece of smoked Salmon with a couple of Capers on top

Wow - posh or what???

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

I am not too bothered about the bread - but I do prefer nicer bread especially wholemeal

but at the moment (ie.e for the rest of my life) I need gluten free - whic menas seeded brown/wholemeal is necessary to add some taste

but it should be buttered - preferably toasted as well
just enough bacon to be too much to cover the bread fully

and Tomato Ketchup

preferably with some sliced tomatoes added if possible

or sliced fried mushrooms

actually had bacon butties for lunch on white barms - barms are best not toasted

my wife insists on white bread no butter but both slices of bread being coated with the thinnest possible coating of brown sauce
she is a pain in the whatsit - as I tell her quite often!!!

Brown bread or best of both. Bit of butter (I actually have dairy free Vitalite). Used to have tomato ketchup but it gives me indigestion, so no sauces for me. Or I would have coleslaw if in the mood

Homemade (in a bread machine) white bread. A fair dollop of butter, and 2-3 rashers grilled until just crisp. No sauce.

lightly toasted cheap white bread, little spread of butter, well cooked smoked streaky bacon, and of course HP sauce

 

[Jenkins]

Softest, squidgiest, thickest sliced white bread you can find (Warburton's Super Toastie is best), thin spreading of salted butter/margerine, good smoked back bacon grilled until the fat is crispy and a little bit of HP Fruity sauce to taste.

Homemade white bread, not bread machine, plenty of salted butter, thick cut dry cured back bacon, not quite crisp, no sauce.
But we don't have bacon butties on Christmas Day.

Last thing I’d want to eat on Christmas Day, there is enough meat going on without adding to it at breakfast. I’ll just be having some toast and marmalade

 

[slowmotion]

It's got to be smoked dry cure British bacon in a mini baguette with butter and mayo. Since you won't be able to get a baguette on Christmas day, forget the sarnie and launch straight into the champagne.

BTW, it's a crime to defile a bacon butty with brown sauce.

Nah not really, half a loaf so 40p 3/4 of a tub of Philly so about £1 and a pack of smoked Salmon at 2 packs for £8 plus a small handfull of Capers makes a tasty brunch for 4 adults and 3 kids without spoiling the appetite for Christmas dinner

My wife read somewhere that the average intake on xmas day is 10,000 kcals.
Not sure if that includes bacon butties.

I'll be thinking about all those poor, highly sentient piggies slaughtered for not just Christmas Day, but every day and have a vegetarian nibble instead.

Smoked or unsmoked
Crispy or flabby

To BLT on not to BLT

A bacon buttie is a multi-dimensional construct!

Heston's Version

Bacon Butty​

What do you want from a bacon sarnie?
There’s the seductive sizzle when it’s cooking. There’s that irresistible aroma that draws you in like a magnet. Then there are those delicious contrasts—smoked and unsmoked, crisp and soft, savoury and a touch of sweetness.
I’ve taken inspiration from Mrs. Beeton for an extra textural contrast. Included in her Cookery and Household Management is a recipe for Toast Sandwiches, in which a piece of toast is the filling between two slices of buttered bread.
She claims it ‘will be found very tempting to the appetite of an invalid.’ I don’t know about that but having both bread and toast adds another layer of crispness and softness that will hopefully be found tempting to everyone, invalid or not.
MAKES 2
4 rashers unsmoked back bacon
6 rashers smoked streaky bacon
2 tbsp oil
20g salted butter
4 slices of white bread
For the sauce
2 tbsp French’s mustard
2 tbsp tomato ketchup
2 tbsp mayonnaise
Place the bacon rashers between two sheets of baking paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the bacon until very thin, then discard the paper and slice each rasher in half.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add all the bacon rashers and fry, turning frequently, until cooked through and crispy. Remove the back bacon rashers and set aside, allowing the remaining streaky rashers to fry a little longer until crisp and caramelized.
In the meantime, for the sauce, mix the mustard, ketchup and mayonnaise together in a small bowl.
Butter two of the slices of bread and set aside.
To assemble, toast the other two slices of bread, butter them and top with the bacon. Sandwich together with the slices of untoasted, buttered bread (so you have two sandwiches, each with one side bread and one side toast).
Serve immediately, with the sauce on the side to use as a dip between each bite.
