Whether you're looking to impress some overnight guests, hosting a special Sunday brunch, or doing breakfast for dinner (always fun!), this maple pecan-crusted bacon is sure to have them asking for more, more, more! And no one has to know just how easy it is to make...
All you need is a package of thick-cut bacon, finely chopped pecans, and pure maple syrup -- I like Coombs Family Farms 100% Pure Organic Maple Syrup
Maple Pecan-Crusted Bacon
Ingredients:
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon
- 1/3 c. pure maple syrup, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 c. pecans, chopped
Directions
- Line a rimmed-baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack inside.
- Dredge the bacon in the maple syrup and lay out on the wire rack.
- Press finely chopped pecans into surface.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
- Drizzle a small amount of additional maple syrup over the top and let cool for 5 minutes.

I can see this bacon being really addicting, I better do a double batch just to make sure there is enough to actually make it to the table.
Thanks for today’s great sounding recipe.
Bacon candy!
This looks so good. I have done maple bacon, but I never thought to do maple pecan.
Merry Christmas. I hope you’ve been nasty so Santa won’t come to you (more gifts for me hahaha)
LOL! Santa was very good to me — hope he was to you too!
