FIERY SUMMER BRUSCHETTA WITH ZESTY OLIVE SPREAD AND SPICY CANDIED BACON
Steps:
- For the bacon:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Put a baking rack over a parchment paper lined tray and arrange the bacon slices across the rack - do not overlap. In small bowl combine the syrup and cayenne and brush the bacon generously with the mixture. Put in the oven and bake until cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside until ready to use.
- For the Summer Salad:
- In a large bowl, add the vinegar, honey, Dijon and lime zest and juice and whisk to combine. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to make a dressing. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside until ready to use.
- For the bruschetta:
- In large saute pan, add the olive oil, cayenne and garlic. When the garlic has browned, remove it and discard. Add the bread slices, in batches if necessary, and cook until browned on both sides. You may need to add more olive oil to the pan if the bread soaks up too much. Remove to sheet tray and set aside until ready to plate the dish.
- For the Zesty Olive Spread:
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor and pulse until pureed and smooth. Check for seasoning and set aside until ready to use.
- Assembly:
- Put 2 pieces of bread on each plate. Spread the zesty olive spread on top of the bread. Lay 1 piece of bacon on each bread slice and top with the summer salad. Repeat with remaining bread and toppings.

[email protected]This bruschetta was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili pepper flakes if you don't like spicy food.
