Glazed Pepper-Bacon Poppers
This tasty appetizer is easy to eat and also one of the easiest to make. It’s no wonder it often ‘pops’ up in many home recipes and menus. There are a lot of variations for bacon popper fillings, too. But the most popular among foodies are probably scallop and chicken.
Maple Cupcakes with Milk Chocolate Ganache and Candied Bacon
Candied bacon toppings have quietly made their way to many of our favorite confection recipes. It’s really grown in popularity. The maple cupcake, sprinkled with bacon bits is a lovely treat that’ll really look good on the shelf, and should also surprise a few foodies with its combination of flavors.
Bacon Cheese Fries
Lots of fries, lots of cheese, lots of bacon, your assortment of seasoning, and then more cheese and bacon. Can’t go wrong with this one, right? You probably have these ingredients any given day, which means all you’re really going to worry about is choosing a signature sauce.
Bacon-wrapped Asparagus
Asparagus has always been a good complementary vegetable to many entrées, but since we’re talking about International Bacon Day 2017, we have to add a bit of our favorite meat into the mix. To avoid overcooking the asparagus, try to pre-cook the bacon beforehand. It’s a classic homemade recipe, which works exceptionally well when paired with grilled meat and fresh tomatoes.
Roast Trout with Warm Green Lentil and Bacon Dressing
If roasting a trout and preparing lentils sounds boring, then this recipe will be nothing but a healthy exercise. Lentils are among the healthiest food on the planet, which also surprisingly makes for an excellent dish when you add bacon. The beans are very good at absorbing flavors, so putting them together as a dressing is a wonderful and tasty idea.
