Sliced bacon – smoky, hearty & versatile
Crispy breakfast bacon, a juicy bacon burger or hearty bacon for the BBQ: Kreutzers sliced bacon is versatile and ready to go straight into the pan, onto the grill or into the oven. The pork belly is cured and smoked, which gives it its characteristic hearty, smoky flavour.

Bacon for breakfast, burgers and BBQ
Hardly any ingredient combines as easily with so many different dishes. Classically, bacon is fried in a pan as breakfast bacon and served with fried eggs, scrambled eggs or pancakes. But when grilling and cooking, too, the combination of smoky aroma, salt and fat adds extra flavour.
Sliced bacon is ideal for, among other things:
- Breakfast bacon with eggs or pancakes
- Cheeseburgers and smash burgers
- Sandwiches, wraps and hot dogs
- Pasta, mac & cheese and casseroles
- Salads and baked potatoes
- Bacon-wrapped meat or vegetables
- Finger food and BBQ
For a classic bacon burger, fry the slices until crisp and combine them with a burger patty and melted cheese.
How do you get bacon really crispy?
For crispy bacon you normally don't need any extra oil in the pan. Place the slices in the pan and heat them until their own fat slowly renders out. Then keep frying the bacon until it is browned to your liking, turning it from time to time.
Depending on what you want to use the bacon for, you can then serve it as whole slices, cut it into strips or crumble it into crispy bacon bits.
You can also prepare smoked bacon in the oven or on the grill. Over direct grill heat, keep an eye on the thin slices, as they brown quickly.
Breakfast bacon or speck – what is the difference?
The terms bacon and speck are often used similarly, but they are not entirely synonymous. Speck is the more general term for fatty cuts of pork and various products made from them.
Bacon, on the other hand, typically refers to cured and often smoked pork belly that is sliced and then fried. As breakfast bacon it is most often served crispy with eggs, toast or pancakes.
The sliced form makes it far more versatile than just for breakfast: burgers, BBQ dishes and hearty recipes also benefit from its smoky, savoury note.
