Bacon Chips

Mini Assorted Sandwiches (Samms) - Yield: 12 total (3 varieties x 4 each)

Method

Bacon Chips

  1. 1

    Prep

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. This allows air to circulate and yields crisp bacon.

  2. 2

    Prepare bacon

    In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, black pepper, and maple syrup. Pat the bacon slices dry with paper towel. Brush one side of each bacon slice lightly with the maple sugar mixture (reserve any excess).

  3. 3

    Arrange and bake

    Arrange bacon slices on the wire rack, sugared side up, ensuring they do not overlap. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until edges are deeply golden and bacon is crisp. Bake time depends on thickness; check at 15 minutes for your oven.

  4. 4

    Finish

    Remove from oven and brush any remaining maple syrup mixture over hot bacon immediately if desired. Transfer bacon chips to a paper-towel-lined tray to cool and crisp further. Once cooled, break into chip-sized pieces if needed. Keep at room temperature until serving.

Mini Assorted Sandwiches (Samms)

  1. 5

    Prep buns and spreads

    Split the mini brioche buns and lightly toast them under a broiler or in a skillet for 1–2 minutes until golden. While warm, spread a light layer of softened butter on all cut sides to prevent sogginess.

  2. 6

    Assemble Samm A - Turkey, Cheddar & Arugula (4 sandwiches)

    Spread 1 tsp mayonnaise on the bottom half of 4 buns. Layer 2–3 oz (about 2–3 slices) smoked turkey evenly across each bottom bun, top with a slice of cheddar and a small handful of baby arugula. Add a thin tomato slice if desired. Close with top bun and gently press.

  3. 7

    Assemble Samm B - Ham, Pickle & Mustard (4 sandwiches)

    Spread 1/2 tsp whole grain mustard on the bottom half of 4 buns and 1/2 tsp mayonnaise on the top half. Fold 2 oz ham per sandwich and place onto bottoms, add 1–1.5 pickle slices (thin) and a few thin red onion rings. Close with tops.

  4. 8

    Assemble Samm C - Goat Cheese, Basil & Avocado (4 sandwiches)

    Mash the avocado with 1 tsp lemon juice, a pinch of salt and black pepper. Spread ~1 tbsp goat cheese on each bottom bun, top with a smear of avocado, a fresh basil leaf (or two), and a thin tomato slice if using. Close with top bun.

  5. 9

    Finish and plate

    Arrange all 12 mini samms on a serving board. Tuck several bacon chips around the sandwiches. Garnish the board with extra basil leaves and remaining arugula. If serving family-style, provide small picks to hold sandwiches together. Serve immediately.
