Equipment

  • Frying pan

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Light brown sugar
  • ½ tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 2 slices Bacon Thick cut
  • Olive Oil

Instructions

  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil and butter in a pan
  • Mix in brown sugar
  • Layout bacon on pan
  • As the bacon cooks, mix it until each piece is coated in sugar glaze
  • Sprinkle with a dusting of cayenne pepper
  • Cook about 15 minutes, or until bacon is done

Notes

Don’t drain the bacon over paper towels the way you would for regular bacon. That’s because the caramelized sugar makes the bacon sticky and gooey – you don’t want paper towel particles stuck to it.
