Time 33m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 slices bacon
2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
sea salt to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 Golden Delicious apples - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (8 ounce) round Brie cheese
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Lay bacon on the prepared baking sheet. Mix pecans, brown sugar, chili powder, and sea salt together in a bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the bacon.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crisp, and browned, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Chop bacon into rough pieces.
  • Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples and 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Saute, stirring only every 60 to 90 seconds, until apples are tender and brown, about 8 minutes. Mix in remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup and cinnamon. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Cut a round of parchment paper slightly larger than the round of Brie cheese. Place the Brie cheese on the parchment paper; place onto a baking sheet. Top with the cooked apples to make a big mound.
  • Bake in the hot oven for 5 minutes. Add bacon-praline mixture on top of the Brie. Continue baking until top is bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a serving platter using a large spatula. Sprinkle with sea salt and rosemary.

SPICED BACON TWIST



Spiced Bacon Twist image

There is another similar recipe on here but doesn't have the added spices that I think make this so special. I do got this from another sight and made it for three very hungry Man-Cubs breakfast and they ALL rated it 5 stars. One called it "candy bacon" Hope you like it too. Nest time I'm thinking I'll cut back on the brown sugar as I had a LOT left over - but left it here as in the original recipe.

SPICED BACON SKEWERS RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Spiced Bacon Skewers Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by tinathorn

Number Of Ingredients 8

Vegetable oil spray
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 pound apple wood-smoked, thick-cut bacon, excess fat trimmed from the short ends

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Spray a wire rack with vegetable spray and place the rack on top of the baking sheet. You will need fifteen to twenty 8-inch metal or wooden skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes). Put the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cayenne, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in a large resealable bag. Shake the bag well to mix the ingredients. Note: I didn't have a plastic bag on hand when I made this recipe, so I just mixed in a medium bowl, then dumped in a shallow pan. Thread 1 bacon slice onto each skewer like ribbon candy. Don't push the bacon together too closely or the skewers won't cook evenly. Dip each bacon skewer into the plastic bag (or shallow pan) with the sugar mixture, making sure to coat both sides well. Lay each skewer on the prepared wire rack. Sprinkle the skewers with any remaining sugar mixture. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the bacon is brown and crips, turning the skewers after 12 to 15 minutes. Serve hot.

SPICED AND CANDIED VEGETARIAN BACON



Spiced and Candied Vegetarian Bacon image

I made Boomette's recipe for Spicy Candied Bacon(#438987) using vegetarian bacon and was blown away by how good it was! I used Morningstar but you could use this recipe with any vegetarian bacon. Enjoy, I sure did. If I had made the whole package, I would have eaten it all. I quartered the recipe and it worked great, coating the bacon nicely. I haven't tried the whole recipe, so you might want to use more or less spice mix to your desired amount of coating. Thank you for the inspiration Boomette!

Time 20m

Yield 12 slices veggie bacon

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 tablespoons chili powder (the mild red kind)
3/4 cup light brown sugar
12 slices vegetarian bacon (I used Morningstar)

Steps:

  • Set your oven at 300*F.
  • Mix the chili powder and brown sugar in a bowl, stirring to mix completely.
  • Place parchment paper on a baking sheet or spray sheet pan with cooking spray.
  • Coat both sides of the bacon well with spice mix. I patted it on.
  • Lay the coated bacon on the parchment paper.
  • Bake 10-15 minutes(start with 10 minutes, but you may need a few more minutes, depending on what veggie bacon you use). Remove immediately to a plate. My bacon stuck to the paper when I left it to cool and I had to heat it up to unstick it from the paper. The bacon will crisp up as it cools.
  • Enjoy!
