Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 6 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking pan, optional
Salted butter, at room temperature, for the baking pan and/or spreading, optional
6 slices thick-cut bacon (about 6 ounces)
10 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 slices sharp Cheddar (about 6 ounces)
6 English muffins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or grease with butter.
  • Add the bacon to a cold medium skillet heat over medium heat. Cook, flipping occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  • Whisk the eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper together in a large bowl. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake until puffed and set, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • Place the English muffins cut-side up on a baking sheet and brush with some butter if using. Bake until slightly toasty, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, use a large round biscuit cutter (about 3 3/4 inches in diameter) or the rim of a drinking glass to cut out 6 rounds. (For ways to use the leftover egg scraps, see Cook's Note.) Using an offset spatula or a butter knife, remove each egg round from the pan and place on bottom half of an English muffin. Top each with a slice of bacon, one slice of Cheddar and the other muffin half. Wrap each sandwich individually with aluminum foil, put in a resealable plastic bag and freeze up to 1 month or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • To reheat, unwrap a sandwich and place on a paper towel on a microwave-safe dish. Microwave 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and eggs are warmed through. Alternatively, thaw a foil-wrapped frozen sandwich overnight in the refrigerator, then bake in a 425-degree F oven until warmed through and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.

THE GREAT BRITISH BACON BUTTY - BACON SANDWICH



The Great British Bacon Butty - Bacon Sandwich image

The news is out - scientists at my old university, (Leeds University in West Yorkshire) have discovered the PERFECT way to make a "Bacon Butty", that quintessential British sandwich, and they have devised a mathematical formula for it!! The bacon butty is one of my FAVOURITE sandwiches of all times.......especially when doused in HP Sauce or Worcestershire Sauce! Here is my method - it's hardly a recipe, more of an idea and an assembly job! I have posted their mathematical formula at the end of the recipe - my formula is: Eat your bacon butty whilst it's still hot and crispy!! Please increase the quantities as needed. I like to use smoked bacon, but any good quality dry cure bacon will be fine.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 9m

Yield 1 Bacon Butty, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 -3 slices back bacon, per person
2 slices of farmhouse bread, 1cm to 2cm thick, per person, OR
1 crusty roll, per person
butter (optional)
HP steak sauce (optional)
Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon under a preheated oven grill for seven minutes at about 240C/475F - turning half way through the cooking time.
  • Cook until crispy, but not burnt or too dry.
  • (You can also fry the bacon in a pan if you wish).
  • Butter the two slices of bread and place the grilled or fried bacon inside the two slices of bread to make a sandwich.
  • Add sauces to taste.
  • Enjoy!
  • The bread can also be toasted if you wish! And, you can make this sandwich with a crusty bread roll.
  • The Scientist's Formula:.
  • Four researchers at the Department of Food Science at Leeds University in the UK spent more than 1,000 hours testing 700 variations on the traditional bacon sandwich.
  • They tried different types and cuts of bacon, cooking techniques, types of oil and a range of cooking times at different temperatures.
  • A shortlist was then tested with computers to measure the texture of each sandwich.
  • Fifty volunteers also judged each sandwich according to its taste, texture and flavour.
  • The formula is: N = C + {fb (cm) . fb (tc)} + fb (Ts) + fc . ta, where N=force in Newtons required to break the cooked bacon, fb=function of the bacon type, fc=function of the condiment/filling effect, Ts=serving temperature, tc=cooking time, ta=time or duration of application of condiment/filling, cm=cooking method, C=Newtons required to break uncooked bacon.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sandwich will be. Look for thick-cut bacon, fresh eggs, and a good quality bread or English muffin.
  • Cook the bacon properly: Bacon should be cooked until it is crispy but not burnt. This will give it the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a good cheese: Cheese is an essential ingredient in any breakfast sandwich. Choose a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor. Cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack are all good options.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to breakfast sandwiches. Try different combinations of ingredients to find your favorite. You could add avocado, tomato, or even a fried egg to your sandwich.

Conclusion:
