Instructions
- In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp.
- Remove cooked bacon from skillet and allow to drain on paper towel.
- Reserve a few tablespoons of bacon fat in your skillet to cook the garlic and onions.
- Add onions to your hot skillet and cook until tender, about 8 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook for another minute or two.
- Remove from heat and set aside to allow to cool completely to room temperature.
- In a medium sized bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer, whip butter until very soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add onions, garlic and bacon.
- Mix until incorporated.
- Stir in honey, green onions and pepper.
- Ideally, place into a container with a lid for easy access.
- Serve on sandwiches, popcorn, eggs, potatoes or beef or anything else you use butter for.
Notes
- Let the butter soften fully before beating. This makes it easier and allows the butter to incorporate more air which makes it fluffier.
- Use high-quality bacon for the best flavor.
- Add salt if using unsalted butter for the whipped bacon butter for better flavor.
- Allow it to sit in the fridge or freezer for at least two hours if you plan on slicing it. This also allows the flavors to meld together better.
