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.

Provided by French Tart

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.

BACON, EGG, AND CHEESE BUTTERMILK BISCUIT BREAKFAST SANDWICH



Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Buttermilk Biscuit Breakfast Sandwich image

What could be better than a big, homemade buttermilk biscuit loaded with soft, cheesy scrambled eggs, and crisp bacon? Goodbye fast food drive-thru!

Provided by lutzflcat

Categories     Breakfast and Brunch     Eggs     Breakfast Sandwich Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
⅓ cup shortening (such as Crisco®)
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons buttermilk
6 slices bacon, cut in half
4 eggs
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon butter
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, 3 to 4 minutes. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour in 1 cup buttermilk, and stir just until combined.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat and roll into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out 6 biscuits. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and brush the top of each biscuit with remaining buttermilk.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool.
  • Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
  • Combine eggs and water in a bowl and whisk vigorously until smooth; set aside. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Swirl skillet to coat with butter; heat until just barely bubbling. Pour eggs into the center of the skillet, so butter gets pushed out to the sides.
  • Cook until edges of the eggs barely start to set. Gently scramble all the way around the pan using a spatula, creating large, soft curds. Sprinkle cheese onto the eggs at this point. Continue cooking, pausing in between to allow time for the cheese to melt and eggs to firm, gently pushing and folding the eggs to form large curds, about 3 minutes total. Do not allow the eggs to cook completely or eggs will turn chewy and rubbery. Remove from heat.
  • Slice biscuits in half and top bottom halves with scrambled eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Add 2 bacon pieces per biscuit, and finish with the biscuit tops. Serve immediately.

Grilled Bacon Apple Sandwich image

This is a big, messy sandwich that sounds quirky but is delicious! Great for warming up in the fall and very kid-friendly. The proportions of this recipe are approximate, and feel free to change them to suit your needs. The bacon provides saltiness, the jelly provides sweetness, the apple provides tartness, and the cayenne pepper the spiciness. However, including all ingredients provides a more complex range of awesomeness.

ROAST TURKEY, AVOCADO AND BACON SANDWICH



Roast Turkey, Avocado and Bacon Sandwich image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Yield 3 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 sprigs thyme
2 sprigs tarragon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 (4-pound) turkey breast
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 slices country bread
1/2 pound fontina cheese, sliced thinly
1 large ripe avocado
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
6 slices maple bacon, cooked until crispy
Pepper lettuce (watercress)
Butter, for sauteeing

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • To prepare the Roast Turkey: toss the herbs and butter into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until green and smooth. Rub the turkey breast with half of the herbed butter and with salt and pepper. Place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan and put in the oven. Let the turkey cook for 1 hour, basting every 20 minutes with the butter and pan juices. The turkey is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Let rest for 15 minutes on the cutting board.
  • To assemble the sandwich: spread a thin layer of the remaining butter on 1 piece of the bread. Place 1 slice of the cheese and several slices of the turkey breast on unbuttered side of the bread. Peel and slice the avocado, toss with the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add avocado slices, crispy bacon slices, lettuce and another slice of fontina cheese to the top of that. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Slather the remaining piece of bread with the butter and place on unbuttered side out, on top of the bacon.
  • Heat a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, swirling the pan around to coat. Put the sandwich in the pan and weigh it down with a heavy pot or can (or wrap an ordinary brick in aluminum foil and set it on top to compress the sandwich.) Toast for 1 minute, turn the sandwich over before the bread begins to burn. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose flavorful bacon: Opt for thick-cut, applewood-smoked, or peppered bacon for an extra layer of taste.
  • Cook bacon to your liking: Whether you prefer crispy, chewy, or somewhere in between, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Use high-quality bread: A sturdy bread like sourdough, brioche, or a hearty whole-grain bread can stand up to the bacon and other toppings.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Experiment with various combinations of cheese, vegetables, and sauces to create a unique and satisfying sandwich.
  • Don't skimp on the butter: A generous spread of butter on the bread will enhance the flavor and help brown the bread perfectly.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the perfect bacon sandwich is a culinary delight that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. By following these tips and trying out different recipes, you can elevate this classic dish to new heights. Whether you prefer a minimalist approach with just bacon and bread or a fully loaded sandwich with an array of toppings, the key is to use high-quality ingredients and cook the bacon to your desired doneness. So, grab a skillet, some slices of bread, and your favorite bacon, and embark on a journey to create the ultimate bacon sandwich that will satisfy your taste buds and leave you craving for more.
