  Chef's tip

  Cook it like regular bacon. It's leaner and releases little fat, so add a splash of oil to the pan if needed.

  Ingredient note

  Refined starches and flours are limited on an anti-inflammatory diet as refined carbohydrates, but the small amount of corn starch used here (~1 1/2 tsp per serving) is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid corn starch, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

  Chef's tip

  Use the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness.
