Bacon loaf suggestions

To cook perfect crispy bacon, a tiny bit of olive oil and teaspoon of butter goes a long way. Cook the bacon from a cold pan and let it heat with the pan so the fat renders perfectly. Not only will you be baking a great bread but you can also cover it with bread crumbs. If you want to up the decadence, add grated hard cheese into the mixture for a cheese and bacon bread. Serve warm with a big knob of butter and a perfectly fried egg.
