Bacon and Onion on Toast

Mmm, savory bacon and onions with sweet orange marmalade creates a magical combination for anyone who loves sweet/salty foods, especially those with a smoky, umami twist. Is it a breakfast of champions? Maybe those who aren’t worried about their arteries. Still, it’s delicious.

From The Brothers Grimm Cookbook: Recipes Inspired by Fairy Tales by Robert Tuesley Anderson. This is enough to serve 4 people, so if you’re just making this for one or two, divide the ingredients accordingly.

1 tbsp. olive oil
12 slices Canadian bacon, cut into big pieces
2 onions, thinly sliced
3 tbsp. marmalade
3 tbsp. orange juice
1 tsp. whole-grain mustard
1 tsp. thyme
toasted bread for serving

Heat the olive oil on medium heat in a heavy-bottomed skillet and cook the bacon and onions, stirring frequently for 4 minutes until the bacon is browned and cooked.

Meanwhile, mix together the marmalade, orange juice, mustard, and thyme. Add to the pan and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until hot.

Dish the mixture onto slices of toast.
