Steps:
- Heat oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring occasionally and sprinkling with garlic powder, until browned and crispy, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, beat eggs in a separate bowl. Mix in Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and black pepper.
- Remove bacon onto paper towels to drain, reserving 3 tablespoons of the oil and bacon grease in the pan. Return bacon to the pan, stir in maple syrup, and bring to a simmer. Quickly turn heat down to low and let simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain pasta in a strainer set over large glass bowl. Pour 1/4 cup of the pasta water into the skillet with the bacon; stir. Add pasta and toss until coated.
- Pour remaining pasta water out of the large bowl. Drop the coated noodles into the bowl. Pour in the egg mixture and quickly toss with the pasta until cheese has melted and sauce is creamy and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.

GLAZED BACON
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- For the red chile-honey glaze: Lay the bacon in a single layer on a sheet pan, keeping space in between each slice. Place bacon in pan and bake until lightly browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. While the bacon is cooking, whisk together the clover honey and ancho chile powder in a medium bowl until smooth. Remove the bacon from the oven, using mitts, and carefully drain the fat, tipping the pan, into a medium bowl. Blot the top of the bacon with a few paper towels. Place the sheet pan with the bacon on it on a cooling rack and immediately brush each slice with the glaze.
- For the sorghum glaze: Lay the bacon in a single layer on a sheet pan, keeping space in between each slice. Place bacon in pan and bake until lightly browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the bacon from the oven, using mitts, and carefully drain the fat, tipping the pan, into a medium bowl. Blot the top of the bacon with a few paper towels. Place the sheet pan with the bacon on it on a cooling rack and immediately brush each slice with the sorghum syrup.
- For the brown sugar-pecan glaze: Line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper. Lay the bacon in a single layer on the baking sheet, keeping space in between each slice. Divide the brown sugar evenly over the top of each slice of bacon and bake until bacon is golden brown and almost crispy, about 13 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the finely chopped pecans, return to the oven and continue baking until pecans are toasted and bacon is crispy, about 3 minutes longer.
- Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality bacon: Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good marbling of fat. This will ensure that the bacon is juicy and flavorful.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: This will help to prevent the bacon from burning and will also help to evenly distribute the heat.
- Cook the bacon over medium heat: This will help to render the fat slowly and will prevent the bacon from burning.
- Flip the bacon frequently: This will help to ensure that the bacon cooks evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the bacon: The bacon is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Drain the bacon on paper towels: This will help to remove excess grease.
- Serve the bacon immediately: Bacon is best served hot and fresh out of the skillet.

Maple-glazed bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great appetizer or snack.
