Ingredients
- 6 rashers Bacon back or streaky, preferably without sugar, or nitrates
- 4 lices bread preferably, homemade soft white bread
- 1 tsp butter salted, like Lewis Road Creamery
- 1 tsp brown sauce (optional: my favorite is HP sauce)
Instructions
- Cook the bacon as desired. Air fry, grill or fry on a cooktop, but DO NOT MAKE THE BACON CRISPY if you want a British-style bacon sandwich.
- Butter the bread with softened/room temperature butter.
- Start putting the hot bacon on the bread, on one half only. Add as much bacon as you like, but at least two slices are needed.
- OPTIONAL: At this point, add some brown sauce (my favorite is HP Sauce), if desired.
- Place the other slice of bread on top of the bacon. Serve immediately.

Notes
- I used back bacon for the photos, but regular (streaky) bacon is absolutely perfect, too. In fact, I prefer buying bacon made without added sugar, nitrates and nitrites.
- British white bread is the most authentic choice, but homemade will be much healthier.
