10 Bacontastic Foods

Lindsay Duncan in Food on Sep 1, 2017

Bacon is fantastic with eggs on a Saturday morning, but it’s also excellent on…well…just about everything else! Paired with chocolate? Great! Paired with Cheese? Even better. Eat it with fruit? It works. Bacon is so versatile is breaks down barriers between breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert to create an open atmosphere in the food world where every ingredient is useful in one way or another at every meal. Is this getting too philosophical? I just have strong feelings about bacon.

1. Maple Bacon Cheesecake

This super sweet and salty cheesecake is rich with flavor and has a wonderfully sugary coat of goodness that not only makes the cake look nice, but tastes incredible.
