Want to make our Brown Sugar + Maple BLT? Here’s how:
For the Brown Sugar + Maple Bacon, start by making the bacon by adding 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons dijon mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk to incorporate.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 1 pound bacon slices on a wire rack over pan and brush both sides with brown sugar and maple mixture and place in oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until bacon is golden and crispy. Remove from oven and allow to cool on the rack.
On a slice of whole grain bread, add 2 or 3 butter lettuce leaves, several slices of tomato, and half the prepared bacon. Top with another slice of bread, cut into quarters, and serve.
Ingredients for our BLT comes from our partners at The Fresh Market [LINK]
