MAPLE PRALINE BACON
I recently took a weekend trip, and I experienced one of the best meals of my life at a fine little establishment that specializes in Southern cuisine. One of the things that made this meal so memorable was the praline bacon that I had, so I took it upon myself to recreate it. The only difference is that I like mine better.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels.
- Spread the pecans onto an unlined baking sheet, and toast 7 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown and aromatic. Watch the nuts carefully as they bake, because they burn quickly. Set aside to cool.
- Stir the maple syrup, butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the hot candy resembles foamy caramel and a candy thermometer reads 270 degrees F (130 degrees C) (soft crack stage). Quickly stir in the pecans.
- Toss the bacon in the candy mixture to coat each strip, and remove with tongs to cool and harden on the prepared baking sheet. Last but not least... eat up!

[email protected]I've made this bacon several times and it's always a hit. My family loves the sweet and salty flavor combination. I usually serve it as an appetizer, but it's also great on burgers or salads.

[email protected]I made this bacon for breakfast this morning and it was delicious! The praline topping was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The bacon was cooked perfectly.
