THE PERFECT BACON SANDWICH

Create a flavourful masterpiece with our bacon sandwich recipe

Elevate your sandwich game with a delightful fusion of rich, savoury, and fresh flavours. Crispy, smoky bacon serves as the heart of this delicious sandwich, complemented by juicy, sweet cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves. All this deliciousness is nestled between thick slices of fresh, soft sourdough bread, generously spread with butter. The subtle saltiness of the butter complements the bacon, while the sourdough bread soaks up the bacon juices, making each bite moist and packed with flavour.

A refreshing touch of fresh basil and sweet cherry tomatoes

Cherry tomatoes and basil brighten the sandwich flavours. They bring a fresh burst and a hint of acidity that perfectly balances the savoury saltiness of the bacon. Use the ripest cherry tomatoes for a sweet note to contrast the crispy bacon. The basil adds a vibrant, peppery note that enhances the overall flavour and contributes a burst of colour, too.

Nestled between buttered sourdough bread

Fresh, soft sourdough bread encases all the delicious fillings. Spread with a generous amount of slightly salted butter to add depth to the sandwich and prevent it from becoming dry. The delicately salty flavour complements the smoky, salty bacon, making the sandwich even more enticing.

Make the ultimate bacon sandwich with a personal touch

Bacon sandwiches are delicious no matter what else is in them, so take your favourite sandwich ingredients and integrate them into this recipe. Make the ultimate version with your favourite spread, dips, or sauces. Add a spoonful of tangy mango chutney to introduce a burst of flavour, make a spicy chipotle mayo for a bit of smoky heat, or drizzle over some homemade pesto. A classic BBQ sauce will also complement the bacon’s salty flavours. Add ripe avocado for a creamy contrast or a handful of rocket leaves for a peppery bite. Keep the sweet, juicy cherry tomatoes, but roast them with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to deepen their flavour. A handful of sun-dried tomatoes are ideal, too. Turn up the fried flavours, filling the sandwich with sweet, caramelised onions or add a cheesy touch with slices of cheddar, Emmental, gouda, or whatever else you favour in the world of cheese.
