Answer 1

If you've got a decent bit of bacon to start with you shouldn't need to do anything to it except fry it in it's own fat.

Answer 2

Bacon in slad is best made crispy.

Answer 3

Chop the bacon, raw and fry it at low heat with a mixture of oil and water, in a deep pan.

Add diced parboiled potato to the frying bacon, after 2-3 minutes.

As the water evaporates, add two chopped onions and keep frying until the onions are soft.

Now add sliced button mushrooms and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Remove from the heat. and drain excess fluid.

Take 3 eggs and crack into a mixing bowl. Add 2 Tablespoon cold water and whisk until creamy and there is a surface covering of fine bubbles

Heat an oiled pan until the oil starts to give off that light blue haze.

Pour in the whisked eggs and then the bacon mix in the centre. Once the base of the omelet is solidified, transfer the pan to the grill and cook until the omelet rises and lightly browns..... you know.....give it a suntan!

Fold in half and serve.

There you have a form of Bauern Omelet! Eat and enjoy!

Answer 4

I can't think of much to add to the bacon per se, but my local pub/restaurant does a fabulous salad bowl with bacon, chopped chicken breast and potato salad, all mixed with tomatoes, cucumber and whatever salad leaves seem to be going. It's never exactly the same twice, but is always excellent.  

Answer 5

you can add:

ranch

cheese

chicken bits

Answer 6

Add beans  

Answer 7

Shallow fry it in small pieces until crispy, in virgin olive oil, garlic puree, finely chopped chilli, and spring onion, and some black pepper. This should liven it up a bit. You could also put some small croutons in the salad to add a little crunch to it.

Enjoy.

Answer 8

Egg!

Answer 9

You could always add a little garlic and onion powder to it, but I personally would leave the bacon as is and put the seasonings for the entire salad in the dressing.

Answer 10

Pair it up with some grilled onions. That would be good in a salad, or beans. Could even scramble up with some eggs, for a sandwich.
