| Mayonnaise, Sriracha mayonnaise and/or Dijon mayonnaise | ||
| Maldon salt, freshly ground pepper | ||
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Spread the bacon on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper and place one on top and one on the bottom.
- For the maple-mustard glaze, mix the maple syrup, mustard, cayenne pepper and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
- Change the position of the baking trays after 15 to 20 minutes, also turning them over so that the part that was previously at the back is now at the front. Fry for a further 15 to 25 minutes until the bacon is brown. Brush generously with the glaze about 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time. The glaze should be thickly caramelized.
- The sandwiches are assembled at the table; have a toaster ready.
- Arrange the bacon on a large platter and serve with lettuce, tomatoes, toast, mayonnaise, Sriracha mayonnaise, Dijon mayonnaise, sea salt and pepper, so that everyone can top the sandwiches as they wish. Spread mayonnaise on one slice of toast, add lettuce, tomatoes and bacon, spread the second slice of toast and enjoy immediately.
- If the sandwich is made to take away, it can be thicker and wrapped tightly in sandwich paper. To enjoy in this case, cut through the paper in the middle - this prevents the contents from falling out.
