Breaded Bacon Recipes

BREADED BACON

Steps:

• Heat a small amount of oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Combine the flour, brown sugar, and pepper in a shallow dish. Mix well. Dredge the bacon slices on both sides in the flour mixture. Place the bacon in a single layer in the heated pan and cook, turning the bacon as needed, until browned and crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and let drain on paper toweling. Serve warm.

CRISPY DEEP FRIED BACON

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs and milk in a bowl until smooth. Separate the bacon strips, and soak in the milk mixture for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Heat oil in deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Remove the bacon from the egg mixture, and toss with the flour to coat. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Fry the bacon strips 3 to 5 slices at a time until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Once all of the bacon has cooked, place onto the prepared baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven until crispy, about 7 minutes.

CRISPY OVEN-BAKED BACON

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place bacon on sheet and place in a cold oven.
• Set the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and cook bacon until crispy, 25 to 30 minutes.

BREADED BACON-WRAPPED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400-degrees F.
• Grease a pie dish and set aside.
• In a pie dish combine first 5 ingredients (flour - garlic powder).
• In a seperate pie dish or bowl mix egg and milk together.
• In a third pie dish place bread crumbs.
• If set up assembly line fashion - this makes a really easy process to get the scallops ready - I use disposable pie tins for this (that come with frozen prepared pie crusts).
• Roll scallops in flour mixture and then dip in milk/egg mixture and finally into the breadcrumbs.
• Wrap each scallops with bacon, securing with toothpick and then transfer to prepared greased pie dish.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes.
• Serve warm (see description above for my mother's method) with tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.

COUNTRY FRIED FLOURED BACON

Steps:

• Cut the bacon strips in half, and place into a shallow dish with the half-and-half, crisscrossing the bacon in a star pattern. Soak the bacon a minimum of 30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours. This step helps reduce the curling of the bacon during frying, tenderizes it, and adds a wonderful flavor.
• Stir together the flour, salt, pepper, and sugar in another shallow dish until blended; set aside. When the bacon has finished soaking, remove it from the half-and-half, and shake off the excess. Press each piece into the flour mixture to coat, then set aside. If desired, you can place a sheet of wax paper between the rows of bacon once the plate is covered. However, the flour does a good job of keeping the bacon from sticking to each other.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-low heat. Fry the bacon in batches until browned and cooked to desired degree of crispness, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel.

BAKED BREADED BREAKFAST BACON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place bacon slices on a baking sheet with a rim. Bake 10 minutes, then drain off fat.
• In a large, shallow bowl, whisk eggs with water. Add mustard and Worcestershire sauce and mix well. Place crumbs on a piece of wax paper.
• Remove bacon from baking sheet and coat each piece on both sides with egg mixture, then in crumbs. Return to baking sheet and bake until crisp, about 15 minutes longer. Drain on a paper towel and serve immediately.
