Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    In the same skillet, remove some bacon grease if necessary, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add olive oil and heat over medium-low. Add sliced onions, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized (about 15-20 minutes).

  3. 3

    Add Balsamic Vinegar

    Once the onions are caramelized, add balsamic vinegar. Stir to combine and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Layer the caramelized onions over the crispy bacon. Shave or slice the cacio cavallo cheese and place it on top of the onions.

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the assembled dish under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely to avoid burning.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Bacon, Caramelized Onion, and Cacio Cavallo Cheese dish!
