It's cut from the pork loin, so it's lean and meaty, closer to a good ham than to a slice of belly. Ossian smokes it whole, fully cooks it, and ships it as one solid piece about 3 pounds, so you slice it as thick or as thin as you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSear a few rounds in a skillet next to your eggs, stack it on an English muffin for Eggs Benedict, dice it into an omelet or a breakfast casserole, or slice it thin for sandwiches. Because it's already cooked, a minute or two in a hot pan is all it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA whole piece goes a long way. Cut what you need, wrap the rest, and you've got breakfast covered for weeks.

Canadian bacon comes from the loin, so it's much leaner and eats more like ham.
