Tricias Cheesy Apple Bacon Brunch Food

CHEESY CARAMELIZED ONION BACON DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the bacon on a sheet pan fitted with a wire rack. Roast the bacon until crispy, about 20 minutes.
• Pour the bacon fat from the sheet pan into a large skillet and warm over medium-high heat. Add the onions to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute, then sprinkle in the garlic powder, ground mustard, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned, soft and caramelized, 30 to 45 minutes. Set aside.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Stir together the cream cheese, yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, Worcestershire, 1/2 cup Cheddar, 1/2 cup Swiss and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt until completely combined. Stir in the warm onions.
• Cut the top of the boule off and hollow out the center. Place the boule on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Save the scooped out chunks of bread and cut the removed top into pieces to dip later.
• Fill the boule with the onion mixture and sprinkle the top with the remaining cheeses, holding back a tablespoon of each. Cut the bacon into 2-inch pieces and arrange them like the rays of the sun around the perimeter of the dip, then sprinkle the remaining cheese in the middle, overlapping the bacon to make an extra-cheesy center. Broil, watching closely to prevent burning, until the bacon is crisp and the cheese is melted beneath, about 2 minutes. Serve warm with crudites and reserved chunks of bread and use the bread bowl/bacon for dipping!

BACON LATTICE BREAKFAST PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Arrange 5 strips of the bacon in parallel rows on a baking sheet lined with parchment, the edges of the slices touching but not overlapping. Working with 1 strip at a time, arrange the remaining strips perpendicular to the first ones, weaving the strips over and under to form a lattice.
• Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Roll the puff pastry into a 12-inch square and press into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared dish. Trim the edges that overhang with a paring knife. Whisk the eggs, half-and-half, cheese, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Pour into the puff pastry shell. Bake the bacon lattice and the eggs until the bacon is just starting to crisp and the eggs are still jiggly in the center but slightly set, about 15 minutes.
• Use two spatulas to lift the bacon lattice and place it on top of the eggs. Continue baking until the bacon is golden brown and crisp and the eggs are set, about 25 minutes. The eggs will be very puffy (they will deflate as the pie rests). Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

CHEESY BACON STRAWS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and fit a baking sheet with a wire rack.
• In a small saucepot, mix the maple syrup, red pepper flakes, orange juice and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
• Line up the bacon slices on the wire rack and brush with the hot maple syrup mixture. Sprinkle some cheese on each piece of bacon. With a skewer in hand, fold the end of a piece of bacon in half lengthwise and press the skewer through the end. Do this to 4 pieces of bacon, spreading them out evenly across the skewer, and place the skewer on the baking sheet. Twist the bacon pieces into long spirals so as to create straws. Take another skewer and skewer the bottom of each piece of bacon to keep the bacon twisted. Do this to all the bacon.
• Bake until the bacon browns, about 35 minutes. Let cool slightly on the rack; the bacon will get crunchy as it sits. Serve immediately.
