Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
Lay the thick-cut bacon slices flat in the skillet without overlapping. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until crispy and golden brown. Remove and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Carefully pour out most of the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon for added flavor.
Mince the garlic clove and sauté it in the reserved bacon grease over low heat for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt completely, stirring to combine with the garlic.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the honey, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Return the cooked bacon slices to the skillet, coating them generously with the honey cream sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Pair with fresh bread, eggs, or enjoy on its own!
