Two pieces of brown bread, butter and a larger-than-typical amount of bacon, assembled to form a bacon sandwich.

A bacon sandwich (also bacon sarnie or bacon butty (UK) and bacon sanger or "piece 'n' bacon" (Scotland) ) is a form of sandwich made from cooked bacon between two slices of bread, usually buttered. Often some form of sauce, such as tomato ketchup or brown sauce, is included. (HP Sauce advertises itself as the perfect complement to a bacon sandwich.)

Bacon sandwiches are an all-day favourite throughout the United Kingdom. Rarely found on the menus of high class restaurants, they are often served in greasy spoons. Other ingredients such as sausage, cheese, fried or scrambled eggs, mushroom and baked beans are often added.

A variant of the bacon is the BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato) sandwich popular in North America.
