What each ingredient does
- Bacon
- Provides the fat and savory flavor that the browned crust surrounds.
- Bread crust
- Forms a crisp, browned coating on the outside of the bacon slices.
The step that matters
Coating the bacon evenly with grated bread. Bread crumbs need an even, thin coat on both sides so they brown uniformly. Gaps leave bare bacon that can scorch or stay soft under the toaster heat.
