Bacon and Cheese Ribbon

Bacon. Cheese. Two of my very, very best foods. Here I combined them into one utterly delicious ribbon.

One day when I was frying nice fatty rashers of streaky bacon, I thought how great it would be to have some melted cheese with the bacon. And voilà! a new recipe was born.

How to make the Bacon and Cheese Ribbon:

In a non-stick pan fry two rashers of streaky bacon until almost done. Do not add any oil.

Move the rashers parallel to one another but leave space in between them. Now cut slices of Cheddar cheese and place them in this space, touching the bacon. Leave for 1 minute on the heat (do not turn), or until the cheese starts to melt. Remove from the heat (the cheese will melt further) and leave the ribbon in the pan for a few minutes until the cheese has firmed up.

Remove the ribbon from the pan with a spatula and place on a paper towel to drain. Cut across into three pieces (I use scissors) and enjoy.

Tip:

• Grind black pepper over the ribbon or sprinkle with chilli powder/cayenne pepper.
