We learned the history and background of Village Pantry in a previous “Get to Know” post. Today, however, we want to turn the focus on what makes this catering service so great; its food.
During a recent December party, The Center’s dome room turned into a winter wonderland where the atmosphere was cool and the food was… well, addicting. Village Pantry Catering provided excellent prepared meals during this event, including a macaroni and cheese bar and bacon crack.
Yes, you heard me; bacon crack (formally known as Bacon Bow Ties). Alana and Alyssa could not stop raving about this wonderful appetizer they were lucky enough to get a taste of.
We spoke to Jill Heltman, sales and marketing manager for Village Pantry, to get the secret on what makes this dish so delicious.
Jill explained there is no real recipe or specific directions involved in making Bacon Bow Ties. This go-with-the-flow technique allows the cook to play around with the process and make the appetizer his/her own.
Want to know how to make this blissful bacon dessert? Jill was kind enough to reveal the simple, yet flexible, steps it takes to make Bacon Bow Ties.
- Cut the slices of bacon in half and form the pieces into little "bow ties"
- Par bake them
- Drizzle them with real maple syrup and top with chopped pecans (or any chopped nuts)
- Bake again until crispy
- Transfer the pieces to another tray covered with parchment paper immediately
- Serve warm
