A few weeks ago I decided to try something new, the bacon blanket. I really see it more as a quilt, but bacon blanket has a nice ring to it. It was meant to be something fun and whimsical for a house guest and it was a real home run. It is a fun way to make bacon that is also irresistible to the palate. Here is how you can make it happen:
The first thing that you must do is determine the size of your blanket. Once you cut the first piece you will have set one of your measurements. I like to just cut all my pieces in half that way it is much easier to put things together. Lay out your one edge piece and then alternate with the vertical pieces.
Once you have the vertical pieces laid out you can fold back every other piece of bacon and lay in your horizontal pieces one at a time. Alternating which slices you fold back until you arrive at the end of your blanket.
Before you place the neat little quilts into the pan you can trim up the edges for neatness if you like or simply go with what you have. This is another great example of why you need a kitchen brick. Slap that brick down on your blankets and let them crispify!! Flip after the bottom has reached your desired doneness. You want to make sure that you don't give the second side the same amount of time because it will cook much quicker. This fancy little folding makes a great presentation for your bacon and can double as a vessel to hold your eggs. You could wrap your bacon around a stainless steel bowl and bake it in the oven so that you would have bacon bowls!! The possibilities are endless and the end product is always delicious.
