What's not to love about maple syrup-coated, brown sugar-crusted bacon? It adds a welcome sweet-and-salty note that makes any breakfast special.

more about:

6 slices thick-cut bacon
2 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. pure maple syrup
1-1/2 Tbs. light brown sugar

Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425°F. Arrange the bacon slices on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle both sides with the maple syrup and then sprinkle both sides evenly with the sugar. Bake until browned and crisp, 20 to 22 minutes.

by khavasutra, 8/27/2011Too sweet and too crunchy and sticky. I'd rather brush maple syrup up on after I'd cooked the bacon.

by livelovelaughwhileyoucook, 2/15/2010Loved the simplicity of this dish! Quick, easy & very flavourful! I lined my baking sheet with tin foil & set the bacon on a rack that I sprayed with non stick cooking spray for easy cleanup. Be careful though if your syrup drips on the foil because t will smoke!

by TheMomChef, 2/15/2010Flavor was ok, but the dish was a mess. See my full review and a non-studio picture of the bacon at http://themomchef.blogspot.com/2010/02/baked-eggs-with-chives-and-cream.html

by compactfish, 2/14/2010Watch the timing on this recipe. Checked my bacon at 18 minutes, and it was completely burnt.
