Ingredients
  • 8 slices Canadian bacon
  • 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Butter

Prepare the Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and Dijon mustard. Set aside. This glaze adds a delightful sweet and tangy flavor to the bacon.

Cook the Bacon

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the Canadian bacon slices and cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned.

Add the Glaze

Pour the maple syrup mixture over the Canadian bacon in the skillet. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, spooning the glaze over the bacon as it cooks. The glaze should thicken slightly and coat the bacon evenly.

Serve

Remove the maple-glazed Canadian bacon from the skillet and serve immediately. It's delicious on its own, or as part of a larger breakfast spread. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
