As an appetizer to the previous post I also threw together this quick bruschetta. It was really easy to make and as usual, had some pretty intense flavors. We here at ZP use caramelized onions quite a bit and combining them with bacon isn’t really all that ground breaking but it is delicious. I used some Founders Porter to add some sweetness and color to these onions and I baked the bacon as we’ve done previously.
So here is the method for these little slices of heaven. Yes they will please a crowd.
Bacon Porter Caramelized Onion Bruschetta
Bacon Porter Caramelized Onion Bruschetta is definitely a cheat recipe, but it's guaranteed to please.
Ingredients
- 3 - 4 pieces thick cut bacon
- 1 spanish onion
- 4 pieces of bread
- 3 oz dark beer
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt
- pepper

Instructions
- Set bacon slices on a rack on a sheet pan and put in cold oven. Set oven for 400. When oven is ready, bacon should need another 10-15 minutes, flip once.

- When pan is hot, add oil and onion rounds. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook on medium or medium low heat for 10 minutes. If onions begin to dry up, add a little water. The whole process should take 20-25 minutes. For the last addition of liquid, add the beer.
- When the beer is absorbed, remove from heat and stir in parsley.
- Toast bread and cut into quarters.
- Cut bacon lengthwise and put a dollop of onions and a piece of bacon on each piece of bread.
