Facon.. what is it and can I have more please?
Facon, also know as Veggie Bacon or fake bacon, is made mostly of egg whites and soy proteins along with some other natural stuff, but you get the idea. If you are a fan of the tiny little bacon bits people put on salads, then you will LOVE Facon. Its basically the same thing just in flat bacon looking form. I've tried various brands of these (awaiting ad sponsorship so i can't name names yet) and I can honestly say they are all pretty good. As with any "veggie" meal its all how you cook it. Invest in plenty of spray oils, I use olive oil spray, these will be your new best friend. This stuff cooks fast so pay attention. Just spray a little spray in your saute pan and lay facon flat, set to medium heat and flip very often. When it gets just the right color of "bacon look" then its ready. My son likes his extra crispy, so I cook mine a little longer for him. I use facon on everything from veggie burgers, to egg white tacos, to my famous FLT's (Facon, lettuce, and Tomato sandwiches). The stuff is low fat, high protein, and just dang delicious. If you have other ideas for facon PLEASE post :)
