Honey Glazed Bacon
Honey glazed bacon is a recipe that is easy to make and takes sweet spicy bacon up a level. Honey bacon in the oven cooks about 20 to 25 minutes.
Equipment
- Parchment paper
- baking tray
- small skillet
Ingredients
- 8 - 10 slices bacon (about ½ pound)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Layout 8 - 10 slices of bacon. Once the oven is hot, bake for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the partially cooked bacon from the oven and add a line of honey down each one. You do not need to use a brush to spread the honey. Sprinkle lightly with cayenne pepper. Return the bacon to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until bacon is golden brown but not burned.
- In a small skillet, toast the sesame seeds until golden brown and aromatic, about 5 minutes on medium low. Put aside.
- Once the bacon is finished, allow it to cool on a baking rack or a plastic cutting board. DO NOT use paper towels to drain the bacon because the glaze is sticky.
- As the bacon cools, sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top.
- Serve as a side for breakfast, or cut into halves and use as part of an appetizer spread.
