This would probably only work for those of you who have to be on an almost no sodium diet, but if you crave the bacon taste, it's pretty good.
When I buy porkchops, I look for the ones which have the most fat. I trim that off with a tiny meat portion and slice it as thin as I can get it. Partial freezing helps. Then I put into a bowl and add some liquid smoke. Liquid smoke has a small amount of sodium, it's pretty powerful stuff so a little goes a long way. I let it refrigerate for a couple of hours. Then render it down slowly until it gets crispy like bacon.
Joe had that this morning with some yeast blueberry pancakes, real maple syrup and no salt butter.
I bet you could also make some Canadian bacon by slicing boneless porkchops really thin and then brushing with a little liquid smoke.
With a poached egg, no salt Hollandaise (homemade) and some homemade no salt English muffins you have Eggs Benedict or in common parlance, an Egg McMuffin.
