How to Fry the Perfect Bacon

Bacon Bacon Bacon Bacon Bacon YUMM

   Yes, everyone adores fat, thick slices of bacon just oozing with rich yummy oil. Oh, and also not forgetting the crispy edges, teeming with salty goodness. Now, the question is... How do we get that?

  Sure sure, I may like my Bacon sweet and chewy, but you might like it salty and crunchy. Heck, someone out there probably likes it boiled in vinegar. The point is, there are NO RULES when it comes to bacon, anything goes! Yeah, I mean it. If there's Bacon lip balm and Bacon ice cream, I doubt anything can stand in the way of the unrelentless quickly advancing Bacon kingdom. 

   Well, Here's MY approach to frying up the perfect Bacon slice. If you're up for sweet, chewy Bacon, then this is for you. It's really really simple.

  

What you Need:

1)Bacon (yeah duh.)

3)Oil (Whatever oil's fine. But if you're feelin' classy, EXTRA virgin's good)

2)Garlic (Chopped)

2)Honey

3)Rosemary (fresh if possible)

4)Basil (finely chopped

5)Some freshly squeezed lemon juice

6)Pepper(optional)

   

     So, Once you've got everything sorted out on a table, (You don't want to end up burning your babies just because you left the pepper in the fridge) Preheat your frying pan. Then, Add a little oil (Very very little. Your bacon's got enough oil in it to cook itself, so don't worry) to coat the pan so that it doesn't stick. 

     Now, throw in your garlic and let sizzle until you can smell the heavenly aroma.

  Place your Bacon strips onto the pan, and then drizzle honey over the slices. Make sure everything's evenly coated before you flip them over.

   Drizzle more honey onto the other side. When the oil from the bacon slices starts oozing out, toss in your rosemary leaves and take care not to shove them into one corner of a pan (They'll get lonely) Rub them into the bacon, and make sure the flavours mingle. 

  Add a squeeze of lemon, and pinch of pepper, and once your Bacon's ready, turn the fire off and let cool. Sprinkle some basil (Well, anything looks great with basil) and you're done!

 It should look something like the picture above, unless you're a horrible cook or if you've left the pepper in the fridge even though I warned you. TIPS! Don't add too much honey. You will be tempted to, trust me. But JUST don't. really. 

Have fun! Hungry Bunny over and out~
