1
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.
2
Sauté the Onion and Garlic
In the same skillet, drain some of the bacon fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Combine Ingredients
Chop the cooked bacon and add it back into the skillet with the sautéed onions and garlic. Pour in the bourbon and black pepper, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and set aside.

4
Prepare the Brie
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the brie cheese on a baking dish. Pour the apricot preserves over the top of the brie.
5
Add the Bacon Mixture
Spread the bacon mixture evenly over the apricot preserves on top of the brie.
6
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the brie is soft and melted through.

7
Slice the Baguette
While the brie is baking, slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices.
8
Toast the Crostini
Brush each slice with olive oil and arrange on a baking sheet. Place in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.

9
Plate and Serve
Remove the baked brie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with the toasted baguette crostini alongside for dipping.
