Instructions
Stovetop Cooking Method:
- Start with a cold pan, then arrange bacon in a single layer.
- Cook on medium-low heat, flipping occasionally until crisp (~10-15 minutes).
- Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
Oven-Baked Method:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange bacon in a single layer.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy. Drain excess grease.
Assembling the Sandwich:
- Toast bread to desired crispness.
- Spread condiments (mayo, mustard, etc.) on toasted bread.
- Layer crispy bacon and add chosen toppings.
- Press gently and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- For extra crispy bacon, use a bacon press or cook longer on low heat.
- To prevent soggy sandwiches, toast the bread well and place lettuce as a barrier between wet toppings.
- Customize it! Add eggs for a breakfast twist or caramelized onions for extra depth
