The Best Idea Ever for Bacon!

Although I do have other great ideas for leftover bacon ~
see end of post!

I made something simply marvellous the other day, hopefully you will be as delighted with this as I am!

Clearing out the fridge preparatory to filling it up again I found I had one single sad rasher of bacon left so I suddenly made …

Bacon Salt

1 rasher bacon

1 tsp crunchy sea salt

~   Preheat the oven to 375ºF/190ºC/170ºC fan/gas 5 or so.

~   Cook the bacon till it seems to have gone too far and looks yukky, like this …

~   Pat off any fat and let it cool and harden.

~   Break into pieces and crush together with the salt in a pestle and mortar.

~  Store in a sealed jar in the fridge and sprinkle willy nilly on all sorts of things.

As mentioned above, today I had it for lunch sprinkled over Brie and caramelised onion marmalade on nubbly toast comme ça …

Yesterday I sprinkled bacon salt on poached freshly laid eggs (see here for the easiest and best way to poach eggs) …

Tonight I plan on eating it with cod.

I have never made this before but am delighted with it; so much yumminess for so little effort and hardly any money, I shall certainly keep some by for the rest of my life! 

If you fancy doing the same please pin this handy image so you don't forget!
