OSCAR MAYER bacon is the key
to a scrumptious holiday breakfast.
OSCAR MAYER goes to great lengths
to make the best bacon, so the hard
part is done! Try these easy tips to
make your breakfast extra special:
T Make a simple egg frittata and fry
up some OSCAR MAYER bacon
on the side. Or make a platter full
of OSCAR MAYER bacon, egg and
cheese sandwiches. These casual
breakfast ideas can be enjoyed in
any room of the house — in case
the table is set for the evening.
T Since it is the holidays, bend the
rules and serve dessert at break-
fast. Just sprinkle your OSCAR
MAYER bacon with brown sugar
and bake in the oven until crispy.
T During breakfast, have everyone
share his or her favorite, family
holiday story. The laughs and
memories will guarantee a special
experience.
