French Toast with Bacon, Onion and Tomato Jam image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch lardons
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
Kosher salt
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1 medium beefsteak tomato, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 sprigs oregano, leaves finely chopped
For the French toast:
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
8 slices white bread
1 cup grated Gruyere or monterey jack cheese
For the eggs:
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Make the filling: Toss the bacon into a large skillet with a few drops of olive oil. Bring the pan to medium heat and cook the bacon until brown and crisp, about 13 minutes. Spoon off about half of the drippings. Add the onion to the pan and season with salt and the red pepper flakes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and very aromatic, 8 to 10 more minutes. Add the tomato, season with more salt and cook another 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tomato is soft and mushy and most of the liquid has evaporated. Taste and reseason if needed. Stir in the oregano and let cool.
  • Make the French toast: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. In a wide dish, combine the eggs, milk, cayenne (if using) and a pinch of salt. Beat until smooth and homogeneous.
  • Lay 4 slices of bread on a work surface. Sprinkle each piece of bread lightly with cheese (use about half of the cheese). Spoon a quarter of the bacon filling onto each piece of bread, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Top each slice with another piece of bread and press to secure. Working in batches, soak each "toast" in the egg mixture, about 1 minute; flip and soak the other side.
  • While the toasts are soaking, coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring the pan to medium heat. Working in batches so you don't crowd the pan, cook the toasts for 2 to 3 minutes per side. The toasts should be golden brown, lovely and crisp-YUM! Transfer the toasts to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm.
  • Make the eggs and assemble: Coat a large nonstick skillet lightly with olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the eggs to the pan, working in batches if necessary. Cook until the whites are cooked through and the yolks are warm and runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the toasts from the oven and top each with a perfectly fried egg. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately.

Slow Roasted Tomato Bacon Jam Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by Susan52

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 roma/plum tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise
1 tablespoon oil
1 pound thick smoked bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup coffee, brewed
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1-2 chipotle chilies in adobo, chopped or Sriracha to taste, optional
1/2 teaspoon cumin
pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet with the cut side up, spray, brush or drizzle them with oil and roast in a preheated 250F oven until the are starting to caramelize and shrivel but are still juicy, about 2 hours. Cook the bacon in a large sauce pan an over medium heat until the fat has rendered and the bacon starts to get crispy and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of the grease in the pan. Add the onions and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute. Add the vinegar and deglaze the pan. Add the coffee, brown sugar, maple syrup, bacon, chipotle chilies, cumin, pepper and tomatoes, reduce the heat and simmer until reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 1-2 hours. Process the jam in a food processor to smooth it out to the desired texture. If you do not finish it all in one sitting, store it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best results. Roma tomatoes are a good option, as they have a low water content and a concentrated flavor.
  • Use good quality bacon: The quality of the bacon will make a big difference in the final product. Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good smoke flavor.
  • Cook the bacon slowly: Don't rush the process of cooking the bacon. Cook it slowly over low heat until it is crispy and browned.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to prevent the jam from scorching.
  • Stir the jam frequently: Stir the jam frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Taste the jam as you go: Taste the jam as it cooks and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Conclusion:

Bacon tomato jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for adding a sweet and savory flavor to sandwiches, burgers, and grilled meats. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for appetizers or as a spread for crackers. No matter how you use it, bacon tomato jam is sure to be a hit!
