Maple Bacon Latte Recipes

MAPLE BACON LATTE

Steps:

• Place a skillet over medium heat and add the bacon.
• Cook the bacon until just starting to crisp. Pour the bacon grease into a heatproof container and reserve for another use.
• Return the bacon to the pan. Turn the heat to medium-low.
• Add the maple syrup to the pan with the bacon and cook for 2-3 minutes. You may need to reduce the heat to prevent the syrup from coming to a hard boil. A tiny simmer is okay, but you don't want it to get too thick.
• After 2-3 minutes, pour the maple syrup into a heatproof container or mason jar. Set aside. Allow the bacon to cook another 2-3 minutes until candied. Place on a greased rack to drain. Maple glazed bacon will stick to paper towels.
• At this point, you can refrigerate your bacon maple syrup for up to a week to make your lattes on demand. The bacon is best enjoyed immediately.
• To make your latte, prepare your espresso using your preferred method. Heat the milk.
• Pour 2/3 cup of the warmed milk into a mug and top with a shot of espresso.
• Add your desired amount of bacon maple syrup (1-2 tablespoons was plenty for us), garnish with bacon (if available), and enjoy!

MAPLE-ROASTED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place a baking rack on a sheet pan and arrange the bacon in 1 layer on the baking rack. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the bacon begins to brown. Remove the pan carefully from the oven; there will be hot grease in the pan! Brush the bacon slices with maple syrup and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes, until the bacon is a warm golden brown. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and serve warm.
