Level of difficulty:
Beginner
- Preheat the oven to 160°C fan oven. Line a baking tray with baking paper and spread the bacon slices on it. Bake in the oven, checking regularly, until crispy and golden brown.
- Allow the crispy bacon slices to cool. Set aside about 1/3 of them for decoration. Cut the rest into coarse crumbs with a knife.
- Beat the soft, room-temperature butter in a large bowl with a hand mixer until it becomes white and fluffy.
- Carefully fold the bacon crumbs into the whipped butter until they are evenly distributed.
- Use a spoon to scoop out small balls of the bacon butter and place them on small plates or a serving platter. Break the bacon slices set aside into larger pieces and scatter them over the butter balls.
- Garnish with fresh rosemary needles and optional pink peppercorns. Serve with fresh bread.
Tip: Bacon can be crisped up particularly quickly and easily in the microwave. To do this, lay the slices out on kitchen paper and cook on high power for approx. 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
