No-Mess Perfect Bacon….and a little piece of heaven

Why in the heck would I bore you with a recipe or technique, rather, on how to cook bacon?  I know, I’m a nut.  But let me tell you…I shared this technique on my own blog some time ago and I was mind-boggled at the attention it received on Pinterest.  Apparently, folks other than myself are in to an easy, quick, CLEAN way to produce perfectly crisp, perfectly chewy, not too greasy bacon….so, I thought maybe you would be interested too…yes?  You’ll never go back to pan frying again, that much I know.

Here goes…

No Mess Perfect Bacon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with foil.  Set cooling rack inside of the baking sheet and lay bacon strips side by side on top of the rack.  Place in the oven and cook for 12-18 minutes or until desired doneness.  Drain on paper towels and serve.

Now, if you are in search of something to do with that bacon this sandwich is a preeeeettty good idea.  It leaves me speechless…all I can say is God bless pigs.  And chickens.  And avocados.  And tomatoes.  It’s ridiculous.

Begin to build your sandwiches:  Spread avocado on 4 slices of bread and layer bacon and tomato on top.  Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until it begins to bubble.  Crack eggs into pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes or until whites are set, occasionally spooning the butter over the whites.  Lay eggs on top of sandwiches and top with the remaining 4 slices of bread.  Serves 4
