For Dad Bacon And More Bacon

 Every man - even the vegans and vegetarians ;pve bacon.It could be made from prk, turkey plants and even beef. Dads love these crispy ,salty strips on their own or with other foods. Give them this for a great day to celebrate them.

What is bacon exactly? It'straditionally a cut from the pork belly , hence the streaks of fat in the strips. The Chinese first started salting and curing it as early as 1500BCE and the Amglo Saxons made their version called bacon - where we get the word from. Tomorrow morning would be the perfect time to serve this classic. Think a piled breakfast sandwich on a toasted English muffin.Piled with chive infused scrambled eggs and then add on the bacon. Another tasty breakfast dish is a riff on Eggs Benedict assemble the sandwich with a poached egg and then layer on the bacon. Pur on a mix Hollandaise sauce or a homemade one. A scratch Hollandaise  sauce is easy to make.It requires whisking melted butter and lemon juice in egg yolks - usually three - and then a dash of Cayenne pepper is blended in. Keep in mind that both egg dishes can  be made vegan by using  Just Egg plant based egg substitute,Morningstar Farms vegan bacon strips and Melt Bitter for cooking the eggs. What about the Hollandiase sauce?It's more trickier with some recipes requiring up to twenty-five (!!!) ingredients. One only has eight an d that one requires tahini and nutritional yeast to sub in for the egg yolks. A tiny pinch of turmeric is used to get that rich yellow yolk color.

Lunch and dinner can also have dad's favorite too. Nothing beats a simple BLT.TUse good quality bacon and sour dough bread for the best bite. Time tomatoes can be beefsteak but the Caprese or Roma actually have a sweeter richer flavor. Lettuce should be crispy. Try Iceberg for the best results. Again a  good mayo is crucial here so try to use Duke's or Hellman's .Again the vegan version involves Hellmans vegan mayonnaise and Morningstar Farms plant based bacon strips. PIle on the bacon and greasy on the other two fillings. You can vary it by having sliced avocados or caramelized onion in the sandwich as well. Every man love a good bacon burger or good cheese burger. This can be made out on the grill. Remember that the bacon too can be grilled outdoors as well. To avoid any flare ups from fat dripping into the flames. create a foil tray for the bacon to cook in. Any leftover bacon can be used for a sundae for the special guy. This can be any ice creamed topped with chocolate syrup, caramel, sauce ,nuts  and slice so f bacon on top. You can create a vegan version too using plant based ice cream and vegan bacon strips.If you have time bake Dad some bacon maple cupcakes using maple syrup as the main ingredient with a smattering of bacon bits added in. If you;re using the strips let them get cold first. Hot bacon can throw off the batter. and won;t allow it to bake and rise properly.

It;s Dad's day. Serve him his favorite food in any way you can. He;ll love this bacon fest all for him !!
