Hovis Soft White Medium Sliced bread with a subtle shadow under it. The packaging features a Union Jack pattern and a yellow label reading 'Soft to the Last Slice.'

Made with Hovis® Soft White Medium Sliced

Preparation time: 2 mins

Cook time: 8 mins

Serves 1 person

Ingredients

2 slices of Hovis Soft White
3-4 rashers of back bacon (streaky works too, if you prefer it extra crispy)
Butter for spreading
Ketchup (or brown sauce, if that's more your thing!)

Tip

If you like your bacon extra crispy, try starting it in a cold pan and gradually increasing the heat. This helps the fat render out more effectively.

Method

Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon rashers and fry until they're golden and crispy to your liking.

Three strips of bacon sizzle in a dark frying pan, being flipped with silver and grey kitchen tongs.

While the bacon is sizzling, spread butter onto both slices of bread. Spread a layer of sauce (ketchup or brown sauce) onto one of the buttered slices.
