Bacon with Black Pepper and Rosemary





Yields
Makes 8 servings

Time: about 15 minutes. Black pepper and rosemary make bacon (already a perfect food) even better. This recipe is an adaptation of one in Tyler's Ultimate (Clarkson Potter, 2006; $35), and is one of the toppings chef Tyler Florence puts on his Ultimate Burgers.

 1/2 pound thinly sliced bacon
 1 large sprig rosemary
  About 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Step 1
1

Preheat oven to 400°. Scatter bacon slices on a baking sheet so that they lie curled on their sides. Strip leaves from rosemary sprig and scatter over bacon, along with lots of pepper.
