House Bacon Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    Arrange the thick-cut bacon slices on the wire rack in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy and browned.

  3. 3

    Make the Maple Butter Glaze

    While the bacon is cooking, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup and unsalted butter. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture is well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Glaze the Bacon

    Once the bacon is done, carefully remove it from the oven. Brush the maple butter glaze generously over each slice of bacon. Sprinkle cracked black pepper over the glazed bacon to taste.

  5. 5

    Final Touch

    Return the glazed bacon to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize slightly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm. Enjoy your house bacon!
