Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Canadian bacon
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, unsalted butter, and black pepper.
Stir constantly until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the slices of Canadian bacon in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Reduce the heat to low and carefully brush or spoon the maple glaze over the Canadian bacon slices.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, flipping the slices occasionally to coat them evenly in the glaze. Be careful not to let the glaze burn.
Transfer the glazed Canadian bacon to a serving plate, and drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the slices.
Serve warm as a standalone dish or alongside eggs, pancakes, or toast.
