How to Make Original Praline Bacon Recipe
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup pecan halves and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar. Mix well.
- Arrange 1 pound of thick-cut bacon slices side-by-side on the wire rack, leaving a small space between each slice.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is sizzling and begins to brown around the edges. The bacon should be about 3/4 cooked.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup cane syrup (or light corn syrup) and 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter.
- Carefully push the partially cooked bacon slices closer together on the rack.
- Brush the partially cooked bacon generously with the cane syrup mixture. This helps the topping adhere.
- Sprinkle the pecan-brown sugar mixture evenly over the bacon.
- Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and golden brown, and the bacon is crispy.
- Remove from oven and let the praline bacon cool completely on the wire rack. As it cools, it will set and become chewy.
- Once cooled, break the praline bacon into pieces and serve. Enjoy!
