This recipe was born while I was working on an eggs Benedict recipe for my Tome 3. I tasted the candied bacon I had prepared for the garnish and it was so good that I decided to dedicate a recipe to it alone. So here’s my maple candied bacon, a totally different version from my classic caramelized bacon: thick slices of bacon coated in a signature glaze with maple syrup, soy sauce and Dijon mustard. The result? A completely legendary gourmet bacon with a sweet-salty-umami balance that outclasses all ordinary versions.<\/p>\n
The angle of this recipe is the triple glaze that no one really dares to do. The maple syrup brings the classic Quebec sweetness, the soy sauce (reduced sodium, I insist. Even then it’s salty enough) brings the Japanese umami that balances the sugar, and the Dijon mustard gives a tangy kick that takes the bacon from good to unforgettable. Oven cooking at 375\u00b0F (not 400\u00b0F) on aluminum foil to caramelize slowly without burning the sweet glaze. THICK bacon required. If you go with cheap bacon, it will fall apart and shrivel up. Go to the butcher shop to get real good thick bacon, it’s a world of difference how good it is.<\/p>\n
This is the kind of bacon that transforms any ordinary dish into a feast. On eggs Benedict for a legendary brunch, in a salad to amplify the gourmet side, in a ham-egg-mayonnaise-cheese sandwich to cry with joy, or simply served as is for breakfast. Officially we say 1-2 slices per person, but I would eat a whole package. My doctor tells me “what are you doing there, dude?” every time. Seriously, make this recipe and you’ll understand why I absolutely had to release it as a STANDALONE on the site. It’s the brunch or Saturday night with friends accompaniment that steals the show every time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
