16 irresistible bacon recipes that will make you drool
In honour of National Bacon Day on December 30, we’ve rounded up 16 of our favourite recipes featuring bacon.
The reason we just can't seem to get enough of bacon is because it does it all—it can be a topping or a garnish, wrapped around fruits or vegetables or other meats, layered in a sandwich, the secret ingredient in a dip, made into a jam, and even turned into a dessert. In case you have yet to truly experiment with bacon, or are just looking for new fabulous ways to eat your favourite meat/garnish/topping etc., we’ve got a recipe for you.
Take your al desko lunches up a notch with bacon. Try our Tomato and Bean Soup with Crispy Bacon, Bacon and Egg Caesar Salad or Bacon and Spinach Salad with avocado.
For dinner with the fam, try Bacon-Wrapped Beef Kabobs. Elevate your standard chicken dinner by serving it with Bacon Jalapeño Jam or choose Roasted Squash and Brussels Sprouts With Bacon for a side dish. If you’re hosting a dinner party and need some crowd-pleasing apps, go for our Wine and Bacon Steamed Mussels, Classic Rumaki, Glazed Pork Belly in Lettuce Cups, Grilled Bacon and Feta Mini Pizzas, Bubbly Bacon and Butternut Dip, Pea and Bacon Crostini With Fried Eggs, or Okonomiyaki.
If you’re a traditionalist who prefers bacon for breakfast, go with our classic Bacon and Brussels Sprout Freezer Frittatas that can be pre-made on the weekend and warmed up in the morning before work. Or, if you have a little extra time, try our Baked Avocado Eggs.
And finally, for the one with a sweet tooth: The Ultimate Candied Bacon—which is bacon dipped in chocolate.
