FLAKY BACON BRUSCHETTA

Categories     appetizer

Time 3h

Yield 12 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 20

8 ounces sliced bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 yellow onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons mustard seed
1/4 cup maple syrup (recommended: pecan wood-smoked maple syrup)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup light-bodied red wine
2 teaspoons fish sauce
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1/2 teaspoon shichimi togarashi
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
1 pinch kosher salt
1/4 batch Flaky Pastry Dough, recipe follows
6 cherry tomatoes, halved, for garnish
1 pound all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 2-tablespoon pieces, at slightly cooler than room temperature
6 ounces ice-cold water
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • For the bacon jam: In a skillet, saute the bacon over medium-low heat until browned and the fat has rendered, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons bacon fat from the pan.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the onions, garlic and mustard seeds to the pan. Saute until the onions are translucent, about 15 minutes. Add the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, red wine, fish sauce, Worcestershire and cayenne; bring to a simmer, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Return the bacon to the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and a jam-like consistency is achieved, 30 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and chill.
  • For the flaky bacon bruschetta: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a half-sheet pan with parchment and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, water and salt to make an egg wash. Set aside.
  • Roll the Flaky Pastry Dough into a rectangle slightly larger than 4-by-6 inches. With a very sharp knife, trim the rectangle to exactly 4-by-6 inches and then cut the dough into twelve 2-inch squares. (Note: If the dough is getting warm, transfer it to a parchment-lined pan, cover and refrigerate until chilled, 10 to 15 minutes.)
  • To form a bruschetta, fold a square of dough in half to form a triangle. Cut two slits parallel to the edges, leaving a 1/4-inch border and taking care to not cut all the way through to the tip; the triangle will resemble an arrow. Unfold the triangle; the dough should now resemble a square within a square.
  • Brush the surface of the dough with egg wash. Take one cut corner of the outside square (rather than one that is attached to the inner square) and fold it over to the edge of the opposite inside square. Fold the other cut corner to the opposite edge of the inner square. Gently press.
  • Place 1/2 teaspoon bacon jam in the middle of the formed bruschetta, then brush the edges with egg wash. Transfer to the prepared sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining squares; reserve the remaining bacon jam for another use.
  • Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve warm, garnished with cherry tomatoes.
  • Add the flour and salt to a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the butter and toss to combine. With your fingers, begin to "smush" the butter into flat pieces. Continue smushing until all the butter is flattened but none of the pieces are larger than a quarter. The flour will look like coarse cornmeal.
  • Add the water, quickly folding it in with a wooden spoon to distribute the moisture. (Do not stir vigorously--the dough should appear shaggy.) Use your hands to break up any large clumps of moisture. Then use your knuckles or a palm to smear the dough up the sides of the bowl (a technique known as fraisage). This distributes the butter over a larger surface to achieve larger flakes and compact the dough. Once you've gone around the bowl one time, fold the dough over itself a few times to pick up any dry bits from the bottom. Gently press the dough into a disk. (Note: The dough should remain very cool to the touch throughout the process. If it approaches room temperature, refrigerate it for 5 to 10 minutes to chill.)
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and roll out to a 10-by-12-inch rectangle. Perform a letter fold by folding one of the short ends towards the middle and the other short end over the first, like folding a business letter.
  • Turn the dough 90 degrees, so the long side faces you, and perform a second letter fold. Turn the dough 90 degrees again; perform a third letter fold.
  • If the dough still feels cool, it can be used immediately. Otherwise, wrap it in plastic wrap and chill for at least 20 minutes. The dough can be refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 1 month.

BACON-CHOCOLATE BRUSCHETTA

A combination of bacon and chocolate on crostini. The creamy-sweetness of the chocolate with the crispy-saltiness of the bacon is very pleasing. The chocolate chips hold their shape but melt wonderfully when bitten.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 -10 slices crisp bacon, cooked until crisp, crumbled (I used a whole package of bacon)
3 -4 roma tomatoes, seeded chopped fine
1 cup leafy greens, chopped fine (I use romaine with the veiny middle cut out)
2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 loaf French bread, cut into 1/4 inch slices

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • In a bowl mix together topping ingredients set aside.
  • Brush oil on both sides of bread slices.
  • Place on baking sheet turn once, for 5-7 minutes per side until crisp and golden brown (keep a close eye on bread it takes no time to burn!).
  • When bread is golden brown remove from oven and spoon about 1 tablespoon (or more) on each toast.
  • *For best flavor DO NOT make topping ahead of time. This tastes much better if you mix the topping ingredients together just before you serve it.
  • *Also I'm just guessing the amount of servings this makes. Sorry about that--I got this recipe off the net somewhere and it didn't specify servings.
