4. 4

   Move the Bacon to a plate and soften Smoked Paprika in the pan drippings, scraping the crusty bits loose.

   Deglaze with a splash of stock or water and reduce to a quick pan sauce, seasoning to taste.

   Rest the Bacon, then serve smothered in the pan sauce with the buttery drippings pooled over.
