For the Shallots
  • 1 pound Shallots Select firm, small to medium-sized bulbs for best results.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Can substitute with olive oil for a dairy-free option.
For the Bacon
  • 6 ounces Bacon Thick-cut is recommended for perfect fat-to-meat ratio.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the shallots by peeling and trimming the ends, keeping them whole for optimal caramelization. Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy and golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside, leaving the drippings.
  3. In the same skillet, add butter or olive oil and sauté the whole shallots for 8-10 minutes until golden and tender.
  4. Pour in honey, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar, mixing well and allowing it to bubble and thicken for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Return the crispy bacon to the skillet, stirring to combine everything. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Allow the dish to rest, then serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs or a spritz of lemon juice.
