This Gourmet Take On Pigs In Blankets Will Bring Your Brunches To The Next Level


It’s been pretty much established that everyone loves bacon. After all, bacon, for good or for ill, has infiltrated pretty much every food item ever, from ice cream to alcohol. But now it’s time to finally bring bacon back to the brunch scene with this simple but very effective — and delicious — recipe.




You’re going to start off with bread…simple.




You’ll need six slices, just be sure to only use soft bread.






And of course, you need some bacon!



Six strips, to be exact.




One egg will be mixed with…







Milk (or cream) and some salt.



You’ll need two tablespoons of milk and a pinch of salt.




Cut the crusts off the bread and flatten each piece with a rolling pin.



The bread should feel a bit sticky after this part. Put your cooked bacon inside!




Cook those babies up!



  • Roll each bacon and bread roll-up in the egg mixture, then shake off excess. If needed, use your fingers to make the coating even, especially around the seam, where the egg mixture will act like a glue.

  • You can cook the rolls with the remaining bacon grease, or you can just use butter.

  • Place the roll-ups in the pan and cook them for about three or four minutes, rotating them to ensure even browning.



We present to you French toast-wrapped bacon bites.







For added decadence, you can also serve these with dipping sauces.



The original recipe suggests nacho cheese dip, but if that makes you skeptical, you can also use icing, Nutella, or maple syrup. You can even sprinkle them with cinnamon for extra flavor.




Now, you devour.






The nice thing about this recipe is that you can personalize it to suit your tastes. Try it with fresh challah bread for a bit of sweetness, or cinnamon raisin bread for added flavor. Just make sure that the bread is soft so it can be easily rolled. The next time you have a lazy weekend morning, definitely give this a try!
