Frying Bacon (Not for the Faint of Heart)

Step 7 Finished

I added a bit of spinach on the plate for a tender and bitter element, plus the plate seemed a bit bare. After, I leaned the bacon against the lettuce, almost in place of a crouton, and as a personal preference I put a bit of bleu cheese dressing over it, and dug in.

Sounds very good, only I think I would add a suggestion or two. I agree with the cutting the bacon in half. I do that now for anyway I use bacon. Secondly, I believe I would use a thicker cut bacon and would par boil it a bit to make sure it cooks to a doneness I would prefer. Thirdly, instead of using my hands to bread, I would use a chopstick to bread these almost flat pieces of meat. With some practice I do believe it would be easier to use than even tongs. MMMMMM I wonder if there is a way to combine some brown sugar in with the flour so you could create a caramelized bacon piece? Worth looking in to, eh?

I used a fork and it was fairly easy. I just got done making it, and it was so good!

Ooooooo, blue cheese too? I am definitely going to try this in the summer with fresh tomatoes from the garden. Tempura BLT--yummmm!! Add some chicken or turkey for a tempura club...the possibilities are endless! Great 'ible.

BTW, most oil is absorbed at the beginning of frying and is caused by the oil not being hot enough. You want that tester blob to really sizzle so that the batter is quick-sealed and no oil can get in.

YEAH! a nice chunk of Blue Cheese, wrapped 4 ways around in a batter or double breaded... OMG!!! Literally to die for. LOL!

I'd used some sauteed cabbage and scallions. But I totally want to come by and have breakfast at your house!
