- Remove the bacon from the pan, set aside, and drain off the excess fat.
- In the same pan, sauté the chopped onion briefly until translucent.
- Add the drained sweetcorn to the pan with the onion and stir well.
- Incorporate the requeijão cremoso into the corn and onion mixture.
- Fold the reserved crispy bacon back into the pan.
