Cooking the Gammon Bacon

Before heading out of town for a weekend at my cabin I visited the folks at Port Moody’s Meat Craft Urban Butchery to get some meat to take along.  

I bought four slices of Gammon bacon and a monstrous strip loin steak (more about that piece of meat tomorrow).

Although it is more expensive than grocery store bacon, the $4 I paid for these four slices of Gammon bacon was definitely money well spent.

Gammon bacon is a combination of what Canadians call “back bacon” and a strip of regular bacon.

I cooked the bacon in a cast iron pan with the stove set to medium-high heat. The back bacon cooked a little slower than the strip of bacon so it was more crispy than I usually do.

Once the back bacon was just about finished, I cracked two eggs into the pan and did them up over easy.

The back bacon part of the Gammon bacon had a rich, ham-like taste to it. It was amazing.

And honestly, four slices was probably too much for one person and would have been enough for two people.

The Gammon bacon was a nice little treat for myself on my weekend away at the cabin.
