Notes

  • Note 1 You can purchase bacon bits (or pieces) from the deli section of your local Woolies or Coles. These are fresh and are perfect for adding to quiches, pasta and savory muffins. The other option is to buy them from the cold foods section of the store, where you will see them either in a resealable pack or 2 packet type. 
  • Note 2 You can also purchase short cut bacon and the used your food processor to dice it finely. Or cook bacon rashers as they are.
