Gordon Ramsay said on TikTok he had a new recipe and told his followers: “Ready to change your toast game this week? My bacon jam toast recipe will do the trick.”
In order to make the bacon jam, you will, of course, need bacon, a small yellow onion, three shallots, brown sugar, maple syrup and even some more unusual ingredients, such as freshly brewers coffee, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes.
He began the Tiktok video by slicing up some sourdough break, and then added a slab of butter to a pan. He then steeped the bread in the butter in the frying pan.
