Maple Lacquered Bacon
12 strips bacon
1/4 cup good maple syrup (approximate)
lots of freshly ground black pepper
BLT
soft salted butter, as needed
8 slices thick wheat bread (or sourdough or ciabatta rolls)
mayonnaise or garlic aioli, as needed
8 large leaves butterhead lettuce
8 large, thick slices of really good tomato
salt and pepper, to taste
thinly sliced red onion (optional)

1
Lay a silpat on a baking sheet, and spread the bacon out on top of it. Use a pastry brush to glaze the bacon (on both sides) with maple syrup. Be generous and be warned: your hands will be sticky (worth it).
2
Use a coarse grinder to grind lots of black pepper on the bacon. I give it a whole lot - almost like pepper crusted maple lacquered bacon. You can do less, but definitely do some!
3
Transfer the baking sheet to a 400 degree oven and cook until the fat begins to render out of the bacon and the maple has begun to caramelize. At this point, I usually drain the fat off and re-glaze with a little more syrup. You don't want the bacon fat to dillute the mapley flavor. Keep cooking until the bacon is crisp and candied.
4
Spread the butter generously over the bread, and toast on a hot griddle until nicely browned and toasted on both sides.
5
Spread mayonnaise or garlic aioli on half the slices of bread, and place a leaf of lettuce and a slice of tomato on top. Season the tomato with lots of salt and pepper. Add some onion, if using.
6
Place the bacon on top of the tomato and top with another slice of bread. Then eat that sucker.
