How to Make I Tried the Viral Salty Canadian—and Now I Get It

1. Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt completely.
2. Once the butter is melted, place your slice of bread in the skillet. Toast it until golden brown on one side—this usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
3. Carefully flip the bread over and drizzle the maple syrup evenly over the toasted side. Don’t be shy with the syrup; it adds a delicious sweetness!
4. Now, lay the crispy slice of bacon right on top of the syrup-covered bread. It’s a match made in heaven!
5. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the bacon. This little touch makes all the difference.
6. Let the bottom toast for an additional 2-3 minutes until it’s crispy and golden.
7. Remove from heat and serve immediately while it’s still warm. Enjoy the delightful contrast of flavors!
