BRITISH BACON BUTTY/ SANDWICH
A bacon sandwich is a very British breakfast. This is my favourite version of it. The type of bacon to use is back bacon, not the typical American streaky bacon. Everyone has their favourite version of this recipe- this is just my take on a classic! My nephew is a picky eater and this sandwich was his first ever taste of bacon! To make this Weight Watchers friendly, I sometimes use the bacon medallions that have the fat trimmed off- if using these, reduce the cooking time so they don't dry out. This is also excellent served in a white roll with a fried egg.

THE ULTIMATE BACON BUTTY (BACON SANDWICH)
This humble item (also called a Bacon Sarnie) is considered one of the most popular sandwiches in the UK. When I get off the plane at Heathrow, I always stop by this small airport pub, and have one. Although, If you ate one of these every day, I would estimate your lifespan to be about 6 month tops... Well, the main ingredient...

Steps:
- 1. Take all the ingredients for the ketchup, and put them into a saucepan.
- 2. Bring to the boil, and reduce to a very slow simmer.
- 3. Simmer, covered, for two hours.
- 4. Chef's Tip: If you have your temperature low enough, you shouldn't have a problem; however, if it looks like it's drying out, add a bit of water now and then.
- 5. Remove ketchup from the heat, fish out and throw away the cloves, and place into a storage container. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
- 6. Chef's Note: Not all prefer this sandwich with ketchup; many like a good brown sauce.
- 7. In a large skillet (preferably cast iron) cook the bacon, over high heat, about three minutes on each side. The slices should be cooked until nice and crispy.
- 8. Chef's Note: The bacon is what makes this dish... you need good, thick bacon, preferably dry cured, unsmoked, back bacon. That's something that's common in the UK, but not so much over here.
- 9. While the bacon is cooking, toast and butter the bread slices.
- 10. Remove the bacon from the pan, and reserve.
- 11. With the pan still on the heat, take the toasted, buttered bread slices, and put them in the pan and allow them to absorb the bacon fat. Cook for about 30 seconds on each side.
- 12. Chef's Note: This is your test of bravery... Bacon... toast with butter... and now bacon fat on the toast... WOW.
- 13. Spread the homemade ketchup on two of the pieces of buttered/bacon-fat bread, and then put half the bacon on top. Add the top bread piece and serve hot.
- 14. I'll be seeing you in the emergency room...
- 15. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
Tips:
- Always use good quality, thick-cut bacon for the best flavor and texture.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy, but not overcooked. Overcooked bacon will be tough and chewy.
- Use a soft, fluffy bread roll or bap for the sandwich. A crusty bread roll will be too hard and difficult to bite into.
- Spread a generous amount of butter on the bread roll. This will help to keep the bread moist and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Add your favorite toppings to the sandwich. Some popular options include fried or scrambled eggs, cheese, sliced tomatoes, and brown sauce.
Conclusion:
The bacon butty is a classic British sandwich that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a simple but delicious sandwich that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its crispy bacon, soft bread, and flavorful toppings, the bacon butty is a sandwich that is sure to please everyone.
