Queen's former chef shares method to cook the perfect bacon sandwich
ok.co.ukFor many, including David Beckham, a bacon sandwich can be the perfect hangover cure.§ And for others it's a great way to start off the weekend, so who better than someone whose cooked for The Queen to explain the perfect method to create a great sandwich.
Jeff Baker, Executive Development Chef at Farmison & Co, spoke to the Daily Star about the best way to cook the fry-up favourite.
Jeff recommends starting with a pan that's nice and hot. Once the fryer is heated up, it’s time to add the rashers and sear them on both sides.This should create caramelisation – which makes the bacon nice and crispy and gives it a punchier flavour.
Jeff explained: "I find that the best way to cook bacon is on a medium to high heat pan with a small amount of natural fat, searing it on each side for a minute or so. “If the bacon is properly dry cured and cut to a nice thickness, it should caramelise on the edges.” He added: “The fat will then render without dissolving, resulting in delicious flavour.” Jeff finds his method so foolproof that he doesn’t recommend using any sauces. “In my opinion, if cooked this way the bacon won’t need any sauce to enhance the taste - it’ll be perfect as it is,” he said.
