Praline Bacon
Conquer homemade brunch with Joy Wilson’s book, Over Easy, with plenty of ideas for eggs, bacon or bread.
This bacon has a place at every single one of my brunch tables. It’s the answer to every question, especially if it’s “What’s for breakfast and can it please be the most delicious thing ever?” Yes. Thick-cut bacon that’s been covered in brown sugar and baked—we’re calling it “praline” because the concept was invented at Elizabeth’s in the Bywater. Our hearts, and bacon, are in New Orleans.
12 slices
- Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 400°F.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lay the bacon slices in a single layer. Bake for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, toss together the pecans, sugar, and pepper. Remove the bacon from the oven and sprinkle with the sugar mixture.
- Bake for 10 to 12 more minutes, until browned and bubbling.
