The British Bacon Butty- Sandwich, also known as the bacon sandwich, is a beloved classic in British cuisine. It is typically made with soft white bread, back bacon, and a variety of spreads, including ketchup, brown sauce, or HP sauce. The sandwich is popular for breakfast or lunch as a quick and easy meal for those on-the-go. While it's not the healthiest option, it's a tasty treat that has been enjoyed for generations in the United Kingdom.

Instructions

1.	Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the bacon slices, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden-brown on both sides (5-7 minutes).
2.	While the bacon cooks, toast the bread slices until lightly browned on both sides. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over one slice and a thin layer of ketchup over the other.
3.	Once the bacon is cooked, drain off any excess fat and transfer the slices onto one piece of toast. Top with the second piece of toast and press down lightly. Serve immediately.
