Servings: 1 Cup
Ingredients
- 8 oz Bacon cubed
- ¼ tsp Sea Salt
- ¼ tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Garlic minced
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it’s crispy and golden. Pour off the extra grease, but leave any tasty bits in the pan.
- Sprinkle in the brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir until the sugar melts and coats the bacon.
- Set aside about 2 tablespoons of bacon for topping. Add the rest to a blender along with the mayo, garlic, lemon juice, and any extras you like. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the aioli to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate.
- When it’s time to serve, spoon the reserved bacon over the top for extra crunch. It’s perfect with crackers, burgers, or anything that needs a boost of flavor.
Notes
- Use Freshly Made: Bacon aioli tastes best when fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Serve Cold: Chill the aioli before serving to enhance its flavor and consistency.
- Pairing Suggestions: This aioli pairs well with burgers, sandwiches, roasted vegetables, or as a dip for fries or crackers.
