What each ingredient does
- Bacon
- Provides the fat and savory flavor that the browned coating clings to and crisps around.
- Crust of bread
- Forms a crumb coating that browns and crisps on the bacon surface.
The step that matters
Browning the coated bacon on both sides. Bread crumbs brown quickly and can burn before the bacon is cooked through. Watching the heat and turning the slices helps the coating crisp evenly while the bacon renders its fat.
