Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup almond meal (or ground almonds , pecans or walnuts)
2 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
12 slices thick-cut or slab pepper encrusted bacon
if pepper bacon is not available, add two tbsp course ground black pepper to sugar mixture.

Directions:

Sugar-crusted bacon with a peppery kick contrasts the creamy saltiness of Blue cheeses. The mouthfeel is unforgettably lush and the flavor is addictive.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine all ingredients but bacon in a wide, shallow dish. Dip and press each slice of bacon in sugar mixture on both sides. Lay bacon strips on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle additional sugar mixture over the bacon slices in the pan. Roast the bacon until the fat begins to render, about 6 minutes. Rotate the pan front-to-back and continue roasting until the bacon is crisp and brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove, cool and break or cut bacon into bite-sized pieces. Serve warm or cold with cheese
Serve with apple slices and blue cheese for a nice appetizer
