Description
A stunning and delicious edible bouquet made from crispy, caramelized thick-cut bacon strips.
Ingredients
1 lb Thick-cut bacon (12 slices)
1 tsp Freshly cracked black pepper
1 tbsp Brown sugar (optional)
1 bunch Artificial rose stems
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with foil, placing a muffin tin on top.
Step 2: Pat bacon slices dry and season one side with pepper and optional brown sugar.
Step 3: Roll each slice tightly into a rosebud shape and secure the base with two toothpicks in an X.
Step 4: Place each roll in a muffin tin cup and bake for 35-45 minutes until crispy and dark mahogany.
Step 5: Cool on a wire rack, then remove flower heads from stems and slide the bacon 'buds' onto the stems.
Notes
Ensure you use thick-cut bacon; thin bacon will not hold its shape as a rose.
