Recipe type: Appetizer
Ingredients
12 slices thick-cut bacon
2 eggs
⅓ c. milk
1 c. all-purpose flour
Freshly cracked black pepper
Vegetable oil
FOR GRAVY
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1¼ c.
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Pinch paprika (optional)
Instructions
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Place flour in a separate shallow bowl and season generously with black pepper. Dredge bacon in flour first, then in egg mixture, then back in flour.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil (it should reach 1" up the side of pan) until a pinch of flour starts to bubble when added to oil. Add bacon and fry until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly.
Make gravy: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and cook until golden and bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in milk and bring to a simmer. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika, if using. Bring mixture to a simmer, and cook until slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. (It will thicken more as it cools!) Remove from heat.
Serve bacon with gravy on the side for dipping.
