THE PERFECT BACON SANDWICH
Method
In a frying pan, dry fry the bacon from cold over a low heat. Once the fat starts to release, raise the temperature of the pan and cook for 1 -2 minutes on each side.
Once the bacon is cooked, butter both bread slices. Top one bread slice with 3 rashers of bacon. Divide the tomatoes in half and scatter over the bacon and then sprinkle each sandwich with the basil leaves.
Drizzle a tbsp. of maple syrup over the bacon or try a dollop of mango chutney to add a subtle sweetness to your sandwich.
Season with salt and fresh black pepper. Top the sandwich with the other bread slice and eat immediately.
Add some crisp lettuce to the sandwich for extra texture.
