I’m letting you in on my top-secret, show-stopping brunch recipe that everyone oohs and ahhs and loses their business over. (Just kidding, it’s Ina’s recipe.) But I’m not kidding about this being a real winner.
This is just an excuse to eat sugar-coated bacon for breakfast.
The recipe comes together in a cinch, but does take a while to roast so plan ahead! If you’re like me, you’ll put it in too late because it can’t take that long, right? and it won’t quite be ready when you’re ready to sit down to breakfast/brunch.
The praline is a combination of pecans, brown sugar, a little cayenne and maple syrup; generously sprinkle over the bacon slices, ensuring they are fully coated. Roast for about 30 minutes, until the bacon reaches your desired level of doneness-crispy, for me-and hurry up and wait for those caramelized bacon strips to cool. I’m not saying you can’t serve them hot, but just remember how mouth-scorchingly hot melted sugar is and how much better it will be if you let it cool and set up a bit.
This recipe easily doubles or triples or quadruples-really, go crazy here-because people will love the stuff. The result is a slightly spicy, sweet and crispy brunch treat that will steal the spotlight from anything it’s put with. Enjoy!
