Hot Bacon Dressing

Hot Bacon Dressing
by: Sandy

Ingredients:
3 tbsp bacon fat, reserved from cooking bacon
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onions
1 pastured egg
1 cup filtered water
2 tbsp unfiltered apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp real maple syrup
1 tsp arrowroot
1/4 tsp sea salt
2 dashes cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 cup cooked & crumbled bacon (approx 6 strips)

Instructions:

In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add bacon fat and heat until glistening.

Add chopped onions.  Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally; onions will be softened and slightly browned.  While onions are browning, locate a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.

To the jar, add egg, water, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, arrowroot, sea salt and cayenne pepper.  Put on the lid and shake vigorously, until well-combined.  Once onions are cooked, turn the heat down to medium and add cooked bacon to the pan.

While whisking, pour the egg mixture into the hot pan.  Continue to whisk constantly until the dressing thickens.  Serve warm.
