It is a plain proposition by design, and the angle is exactly that plainness: with only bacon and bread in play, the sandwich is a direct test of how the *spek* was cooked and how fresh the roll is. Though listed cold, the bacon is fried first and the appeal is the contrast between hot-cooked meat and a soft cool roll. The build is short. Fry the *ontbijtspek* until the fat renders and the edges crisp. This is the single decision the whole sandwich rests on. Underdone bacon is limp and greasy and makes the bread slick; overdone bacon shatters and tastes only of char. The roll is a soft white *broodje* or *pistolet*, and it should be fresh enough to yield without tearing. Lay the bacon in an even layer so every bite gets some, and let a little of the rendered fat carry into the crumb without soaking it. Good execution is crisp-but-not-brittle bacon, the salt assertive, the roll intact and just touched by fat. Sloppy execution is a cold greasy strip in a stale roll, or so few rashers that the sandwich is mostly bread, or fat pooled until the bottom crust goes translucent. Variations are about what gets added to a deliberately bare base. The most common move in the Netherlands sets the bacon against a sweet counterweight, *appelstroop* or honey, for the salt-sweet contrast the Dutch lunch table favors; that combination has enough going on to deserve its own article rather than being crowded in here. A fried egg pushes it toward a fuller breakfast roll. Some counters add lettuce and tomato for a BLT register. What does not change is the core discipline: this *broodje* is good or bad almost entirely on whether the *spek* was rendered properly and eaten before it cooled. --- ## More from this family Other [Broodje Vlees & Vleeswaren](https://onesandwich.com/tag/broodje-vlees/) sandwiches in Netherlands: - [Broodje Achterham](https://onesandwich.com/broodje-achterham/) - [Broodje Babi Pangang](https://onesandwich.com/broodje-babi-pangang/) - [Broodje Beenham](https://onesandwich.com/broodje-beenham/) - [Broodje Biefstuk](https://onesandwich.com/broodje-biefstuk/) - [Broodje Boterhamworst](https://onesandwich.com/broodje-boterhamworst/) - [Broodje Carpaccio](https://onesandwich.com/broodje-carpaccio/) - [Broodje Cervelaat](https://onesandwich.com/broodje-cervelaat/) - [Broodje Ei met Bacon](https://onesandwich.com/broodje-ei-met-bacon/) [See all Broodje Vlees & Vleeswaren sandwiches 鈫抅(https://onesandwich.com/tag/broodje-vlees/)
