Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 2h55m

Yield About 3 cups (6 to 8 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces (8 to 9 slices), applewood-smoked bacon, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
1 large egg white
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup raw almonds (about 5 ounces)
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped (about 4 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Cook the bacon over medium heat in a large skillet until brown and crisp, 8 to 9 minutes. Remove the bacon using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Pour 1/4 cup of the bacon fat on a heavy rimmed baking sheet and spread evenly.
  • Beat the egg white and salt until just foamy using a whisk in a medium bowl. Gradually add the sugar and beat until just blended. Add the almonds, walnuts and cayenne pepper. Toss until the nuts are coated.
  • Spread the nut mixture in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake until the nuts are crisp and brown, about 35 minutes, turning and stirring the nut mixture with a metal spatula every 10 to 15 minutes. Cool for 2 hours.
  • Transfer the nut mixture to a bowl; add the bacon pieces and toss to blend. This recipe can be prepared 1 day ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

HOW TO MAKE CANDIED BACON



How to Make Candied Bacon image

Making candied bacon is one of those a-ha moments-why didn't I ever do this before? The magic happens in the oven and only takes half an hour. Eat it as is, crumble it over salad, or use it to garnish a Bloody Mary. We don't need to tell you what to do with bacon, right?

Categories     Breakfast     Brunch     Snack     How To     Make-ahead     Quick and Easy

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 3

12 strips bacon (not thick-cut, about one pound)
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Store the bacon: Candied bacon can be kept in the fridge for a few days and reheats well in a skillet over low heat. I don't think candied bacon is worth freezing, although if you made a huge batch you absolutely could. You could just want to make sure to freeze the strips individually so they didn't stick together.

VEAL SWEETBREAD AND BACON PIE



Veal Sweetbread and Bacon Pie image

Discovered by Graham Kerr on an Australian Ranch

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 ounces veal sweetbreads
2 cups flour, sifted
Pinch salt
3/4 cup butter, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 cup water
Clarified butter
8 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 lemon, juiced
3 medium tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch slices
Black pepper, to taste
30 marjoram leaves
1 egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Soak sweetbreads in cold water for 1 hour. Rinse and place in pot. Cover with additional cold water. Bring slowly to a boil, then drain immediately and plunge into a bowl of cold water. Remove skin and press sweetbreads between 2 plates. Wrap plates in a towel, place a heavy weight on top, and compress for 30 minutes. Blot sweetbreads dry after pressed.
  • For pastry: Make well in center of flour. Add salt and butter. Combine quickly with water to form a smooth dough. Knead lightly and let rest for 30 minutes in a cool place. Remove and roll out to a size slightly larger than the lip of a pie pan.
  • To assemble: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Heat clarified butter in pan. When hot, add bacon and fry. Line pie dish with half the bacon, cover with a layer of sweetbreads. Add remaining bacon and remaining sweetbreads. Moisten with lemon juice and cover with tomatoes. Season with pepper and marjoram leaves.
  • Lightly brush lip of pie pan with water. Cover filling with pastry and press down at edges to seal. Trim off excess dough. Cut vent holes in center and brush dough with egg. Bake 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality bacon: Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the bacon is juicy and flavorful after it is cooked.
  • Soak the bacon in milk: Soaking the bacon in milk for at least 30 minutes before cooking will help to tenderize it and reduce the amount of shrinkage that occurs during cooking.
  • Cook the bacon slowly and evenly: Cook the bacon over low to medium heat so that it has time to render its fat and crisp up evenly. Flipping the bacon frequently will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Season the bacon with your favorite spices and herbs before cooking. This will help to add flavor and depth to the bacon.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking bacon, it is important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the bacon from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to steam rather than crisp up.

Conclusion:

Sweet breaded bacon is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your sweet breaded bacon turns out crispy, flavorful, and perfect every time. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as eggs, pancakes, waffles, or toast, and enjoy!
