The Kitchn: This smoky bacon mayo upgrades everything it touches
This rich, smoky bacon mayo is the condiment equivalent of the song of the summer. Once you make it, you’ll have it on repeat all season long. And who could blame you? Adding bacon fat and super-crispy bacon pieces to a simple DIY mayo gives you a flavor-packed spread that’s delicious on almost anything (as evidenced by the list below). And if you don’t want to fuss with making mayo from scratch, I’ve got a streamlined version that uses your favorite store-bought jar.
Once you try a taste, you’ll be reaching for this irresistible condiment every chance you get. Here are some of my favorite ways to use it.
5 delicious ways to use bacon mayo
1. Spread onto two pieces of toast and top with sliced tomato and lettuce for an almost-instant BLT. Bacon-lovers can add strips of crispy bacon too.
2. Brush onto grilled corn and sprinkle with cotija cheese for a smoky twist on elote.
3. Dollop on top of halved, boiled eggs for an easy version of deviled eggs.
4. Use in place of regular mayo in your favorite potato salad.
5. Slather onto hamburger buns for the best-ever burgers.
