Ingredients
- 8 slices Canadian bacon
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, unsalted butter, and black pepper.
Step 2
Stir constantly until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the slices of Canadian bacon in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and carefully brush or spoon the maple glaze over the Canadian bacon slices.
Step 6
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, flipping the slices occasionally to coat them evenly in the glaze. Be careful not to let the glaze burn.
Step 7
Transfer the glazed Canadian bacon to a serving plate, and drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the slices.
Step 8
Serve warm as a standalone dish or alongside eggs, pancakes, or toast.
