What each ingredient does
- Bacon
- Boneless fat slices render fat and crisp in the broiler, adding flavor and richness to the dish.
- Chops
- Provide the main protein, browning and firming in the broiler's high direct heat.
- Butter
- Adds richness and a rounded flavor when applied to the cooked chops.
The step that matters
Turning the bacon constantly. Thin bacon cooks quickly and can burn in the intense direct heat of a broiler. Frequent turning promotes even rendering and crisping while limiting scorching at the edges.
