1
Prepare Roasted Garlic Aioli
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes or until soft. Allow to cool, then squeeze the garlic into a bowl and mix with mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Applewood smoked bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
3
Assemble the Cheddar Bacon Smokehouse
On a serving platter, layer the Vermont aged cheddar cheese slices, crispy bacon, and drizzle with bourbon BBQ sauce. Top with roasted garlic aioli and finish with crispy onion straws.
