A crunchy classic from that budding new cook, my boyfriend. This is definitely and absolutely the perfect bacon sandwich ever. I've called it a BLT in the title above, but this is in fact a blatant lie, because there's not a T in sight, and very little L. All you lads with hangovers out there - this one's for you.
Ingredients
(For 1)
2-3 rashers of bacon
2 slices of bread
English mustard (Colman's is my favourite)
Mayonnaise
Ketchup
Some lettuce, iceburg for preference
Recipe
It's a pretty simple one, let's face it, but the beauty is in the detail.
Cook off the bacon - in a frying pan is best, rather than on a tray in the oven, because you can keep an eye on each individual slice and make sure it's done to perfection. Fry it just as you like it - for me, the fat absolutely has to be crispy, and the meat pinkish with a lovely golden-brown crust.
While you're cooking the bacon, you need to prepare the rest of the sandwich. Lay out your two pieces of bread, and spread one with mayonnaise and the other, fairly thinly, with mustard. Put as much lettuce as you can handle (so in the case of my brother, about half an inch square) on the mayo side, and, when your bacon's ready, put it on the mustard side so the bread is well covered. Squeeze some ketchup over the bacon: again, the amount will depend on you, so if you're my brother you may need several bottles. Slap the bacon side (quickly, or it'll all fall off...) onto the lettuce side, slice in half, and chow down.
