DIY Bacon Butter
1 cup (or 2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup chopped *bacon
*A cup is approximately 6-8 strips of bacon.
1. Bake the bacon at 375 F on a rack for 20 to 25 minutes. The rendered fat should be set aside and can also be used to make eggs. See? Nothing goes to waste.
2. Combine the softened butter and chopped bacon in a bowl. For a sweet variation, add 2 tablespoons of honey.
3. Store bacon butter in the fridge overnight to allow it to firm up again.
Juice tip-off: Bacon butter goes best with grilled cheese sandwiches.
