Candied bacon isn’t just for your breakfast plate. Load it onto this BLT for a sweet and spicy kick.
One big sammie.
I made this recipe using large slices of sourdough bread so this sandwich is pretty huge. My husband and I split it with soup or a side salad for dinner and it was perfect. But if you are starving, this sandwich will certainly relieve you of your hunger pangs. If the slices of bread you have on hand are smaller, use this recipe to make two sandwiches instead.
Candied Bacon.
Are you a sweet and salty fan like I am? Then you’re going to love this sandwich. It’s crispy, crunchy, fresh, savour with just a wee hint of spicy sweetness. Of course it can be made with regular bacon too but I mean… who wants regular bacon when you can have candied bacon. Make sure you start this recipe by whipping up a batch of my Spicy Candied Bacon. And then get ready to fall in love.
Check out the recipe video below for a tutorial on how to make this tasty sammie:
