You can do the weaving straight on your baking sheet. I used a coloured silicone mat so you could see what I was doing more clearly and not get a reflection off the baking sheet's shine.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 1 huge taco to share

Ingredients:

  • 10 pieces raw bacon
  • 1 raw egg
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • some chopped jalapeno

Steps:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 F. Lay 5 strips of bacon across a baking sheet, making sure they are flush up against each other. The fatty sides should all face one direction and meaty sides should all face the other direction.
  2. bacon laid side by side
     
  3. Fold every other strip in half onto itself. Lay one strip of bacon perpendicular to those strips, flush up against the back of the folds.
  4. every other piece of bacon is folded back

  7. Now fold every other strip in the alternating columns. Lay one strip of bacon perpendicular to those strips, flush up against the back of the folds. Unfold those strips back down over the perpendicular strip of bacon.
  8. weaving bacon strips
     
  9. Repeat again with the first set of strips. Do the same thing on the upper half of the weave. There should be the same number of strips going down as there are going across.

  11. Trim the edges of the woven bacon a bit to resemble a circle. Pop in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
