What each ingredient does
- Bacon
- Provides the fat and meaty flavour that the browned surface carries.
- Bread crust
- Forms a crisp, browned coating on the bacon slices as it toasts.
The step that matters
Browning the bacon in the cheese toaster. Bread crumbs browned under direct heat can burn before the bacon fat renders. Watching the surface keeps the coating golden and the bacon cooked through.
