Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Infuse the Honey

    In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey and black pepper. Stir well and allow it to heat for about 5 minutes until infused. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Combine Bourbon and Lemon Juice

    In a mixing bowl, combine the bourbon and lemon juice, stirring well.

  4. 4

    Glaze the Bacon

    Once the bacon is cooked and slightly cooled, dip each slice in the infused honey, then place them on a baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Broil the Bacon

    Set your oven to broil and place the baking sheet with the honey-glazed bacon in the oven. Broil for about 2-3 minutes until caramelized, watching closely to avoid burning.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Drizzle any remaining infused honey over the bacon, sprinkle with lemon zest, and serve immediately.
