BACON CORNBREAD DUTCH BABY

Steps:

• For the Dutch baby: Cut the bacon slices in half and place into a cold 9- or 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Place into a cold oven. Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. When the oven comes up to temp, set a timer for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, pepper and smoked paprika in a large bowl. Whisk in the milk, eggs, green onion and jalapeño until the batter is smooth.
• When the timer goes off, carefully remove the bacon from the pan and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Carefully pour the prepared batter into the pan and bake without opening the oven door, until golden brown and very puffy, 15 to 18 minutes.
• For the garnishes: While the Dutch baby cooks, melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and fry until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Reheat the bacon in the pan alongside the eggs.
• Cut the Dutch baby into four, top each piece with some bacon and an egg. Scatter with green onion, cilantro and Cheddar. Serve with hot sauce, salt and pepper.

DUTCH BABY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Peel, core, and slice the apple 1/8 inch thick. Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a 9-inch ovenproof crêpe pan or skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the apple, 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar, and the cinnamon and toss well. Sauté the apple for 5 to 7 minutes until tender, tossing occasionally. Spread the apple out in the pan and keep hot over low heat.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the microwave. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. In a small bowl, combine the flour, the remaining tablespoon of granulated sugar, and the salt. Whisk the flour mixture into the milk mixture, whisking until there are no lumps. Pour the batter over the cooked apple in the hot pan and immediately place in the oven.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the pancake is puffed and the edges start to get crispy and browned. Dust lightly with sifted confectioners' sugar, cut in wedges, and serve hot with maple syrup.

CHEF JOHN'S GRILLED BACON MEATLOAF BURGERS

Steps:

• Whisk egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Add breadcrumbs and chopped cooked bacon. Crumble in the ground beef. Mix with your fingers until bacon and breadcrumbs are distributed evenly.
• Form mixture into 4 burgers with your wet hands. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled thoroughly, about 3 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place burgers on the grate and cook, turing occasionally, until firm and cooked to your desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read between 145 and 150 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let burgers rest for a few minutes before serving.

BACON AND EGG DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Pour 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold water into a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add butter, sugar, salt and nutmeg. When mixture starts to simmer, reduce heat to medium and add flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes together into a soft dough ball, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a mixing bowl. Pour in vanilla extract. Break up dough with a whisk or fork, and let cool for about 5 minutes.
• Break an egg into the bowl with the dough and whisk until egg is incorporated and dough becomes smooth and sticky, 4 to 5 minutes. Dough will stick inside the whisk; clean out dough with a spatula before adding successive eggs, 1 at a time. Whisk in each egg until thoroughly incorporated into the dough. Clear dough from whisk; scrape down sides of bowl. Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill for about an hour.
• Place bacon in cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bacon is browned and crisp and fat is rendered, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer bacon pieces to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. When bacon is cool enough to handle, place it on a cutting board and chop into small pieces. Reserve some bacon bits for topping the doughnuts.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Remove dough from refrigerator and stir in bacon pieces.
• Drop dough by scoopfuls (about 2 tablespoons) into hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid crowding. Fry until dough begins to puff and brown, turning occasionally. After doughnuts expand and crack, keep turning them until they are evenly browned, about 7 minutes. Transfer to paper toweled-lined plate to drain slightly.
• Serve hot, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with bacon pieces.
