I burnt the bacon. But I’m still going to eat it.
Bake some crusty bread. Let it sit for a day. Soak it in egg and milk wash for 20 minutes. Cook it.
You get a French toast that is epic.
Cost per person, $2.60
thats the way my wife likes the bacon.
I love Alton Brown’s French toast recipe, after cooking the toast for a short time, toss them all in the oven on a low temp to finish them off. Great stuff.
My wash is based on his recipe.
Looks great. Needs warm maple!
what’s the egg/milk ratio?
My wash recipe is basically Alton Brown’s. Three eggs and 2/3 cup milk. I usually add a fourth egg and a little bit more milk because my bread is a little crustier. A duck egg did sneak into mix this time.
Looks like it’s in a puddle of maple? Or is that bacon grease
oh shit, i missed that, i think you’re right.
I was gonna say, that bacon is looking a bit done. You could eat it straight, but then it has that burnt taste. Still good.
At that point I save it, let it cool, and then crumble it, either in scrambled eggs, or an omelette. There are other options… toss it in with some roasted potatoes… basically, turn it into bacon bits. That bacon is nowhere near burnt enough to waste.
It’s that pre-cooked stuff. Got it free during a freezer clean out. Tried crisping it in the toaster oven, but apparently it’s even too thin for that. Still tasted good even if it was burnt.
My wife uses pre-cooked bacon. Doesn’t need to be heated up, just warmed up. I still have some strips in the fridge, gonna cut them up (as-is) and put them in my breakfast omelet. I generally throw leftovers in it, or just use sausage.
This stuff looked like pink uncooked flesh that was dry. It needed some kind of heat to crisp it. Even came with instructions on the box to microwave it.
But you didn’t microwave it, and probably know why. I think they just want you to heat it up. To be clear, we’re talking about fully cooked pork bacon. It’s just cold, so they want you to warm it up. It would be fine in a BLT though.
I definitely didn’t microwave it because it looked more like rendered bacon strips rather than cooked. It had zero life. Tossing it in the microwave for 6 seconds per the instructions was not going to make anything remotely crispy or colored. But yeah I definitely put it in the toaster oven and left it there a little too long.
