Servings or Yields: Servings

Serving Range: 3 to 4

Ingredients:

  • 12 slices thick cut bacon
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans
  • Freshly ground black pepper

  1. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and lay out the bacon in one layer, making sure none of the strips overlap.
  2. Place the pan into a cold oven, then heat the oven to 400ºF. Set the timer for eight minutes when the range comes to temperature.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, bourbon, and pecans—season with pepper.
  4. Remove the bacon from the oven. If a lot of fat has gone out, carefully drain some of it.
  5. Evenly pour the maple syrup mixture over the bacon, then return to the oven for eight to 10 minutes or until slightly sticky and cooked to your liking.
  6. Serve alongside a breakfast spread or as the bacon on a BLT! Enjoy!
