Ingredients
- 4 pieces Thick-cut smoked bacon rashers
- 2 slices White sandwich bread
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sauce (HP Sauce or similar)
- 1 teaspoon Cooking oil (optional, for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat. If your bacon is lean, you can add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil to the pan to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Once the pan is hot, lay the bacon rashers flat in the pan. Fry until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on your preferred level of doneness.
Step 3
While the bacon is cooking, lightly toast the bread slices to your desired level of toastiness.
Step 4
Butter one side of each slice of toasted bread generously while the toast is still warm to ensure the butter melts into the bread.
Step 5
Once the bacon is cooked, remove it from the pan and let it rest for a moment on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease.
Step 6
Spread 1 tablespoon of brown sauce onto each slice of buttered toast (or adjust to taste).
Step 7
Layer the hot, crispy bacon onto one slice of the prepared bread.
Step 8
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side down, pressing slightly to hold the sandwich together.
Step 9
Slice the bacon sarnie in half diagonally (optional) and serve immediately while hot.
