Where to find ingredients
Find quality bacon and cheddar cheese at local supermarkets or grocery stores in Koror. For the cheese, a sharp cheddar works best for a deeper flavor profile, though mild cheddar is an acceptable substitute for a creamier consistency.
Preparation method
- In a frying pan over medium heat, fry the diced bacon until it is crisp and golden.
- Remove the bacon from the pan, draining away the excess fat.
- In the same pan or a separate mixing bowl, combine the crispy bacon with the cheddar cheese.
- Stir the mixture steadily until the cheddar begins to melt and incorporates well with the bacon.
- Use the mixture while still warm as a filling for your pastry dough.
