Bacon Butty

🥓 Classic bacon butty recipe

✅ Ingredients:

• 2 soft white bread rolls (or thick slices of white bread)
• 6–8 rashers of smoked back bacon (or streaky bacon if you prefer it crispier).
• Butter (generously spreadable, preferably salted)
• Optional extras: ketchup, brown sauce or mayonnaise.

🔪 Instructions:

Prepare the bacon:

1. Heat a frying pan or grill over a medium-high heat.
2. Add the bacon rashers and cook until they reach your desired level of crispiness (approx. 4–6 minutes). Flip halfway through cooking.
3. Drain any excess fat on kitchen paper if desired.

Butter the rolls:

1. While the bacon is cooking, slice the white rolls open.
2. Generously spread butter on the inside of each half. It should be thick and soft, just like in the photo.

Assemble the sandwich:

1. Pile the hot bacon straight onto the buttered base of the roll. The heat will melt the butter slightly—perfect!
2. Add any sauces you like, if desired.

Serve:

• Close the roll, pressing down lightly, and serve immediately.

Enjoy it hot with a cup of tea or coffee for the full British experience!

🔁 Variations:

• Add a fried egg for a bacon and egg sandwich.
• Use cream cheese instead of butter for a richer flavour.
• For a crunchier texture, toast the bread lightly.
