Bacon Day is a celebration of all things crispy, savoury, and delicious. What better way to mark this occasion than by pairing bacon with another beloved morning favourite: coffee! While these two breakfast staples may seem worlds apart, when combined, they create a mouthwatering experience perfect for foodies and coffee lovers alike.
Here are five irresistible ways to enjoy bacon and coffee together, each with a touch of inspiration from our Nespresso coffee capsule range:
1. Coffee-Rubbed Bacon Extravaganza
Kick off your Bacon Day with a twist by preparing coffee-rubbed bacon. The rich, slightly bitter notes of coffee complement the smoky, salty flavour of bacon perfectly. Mix freshly ground coffee with brown sugar, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and your favourite spices. Rub this blend onto your bacon strips before baking them to crispy perfection. The result? A deep, robust flavour that will leave you craving more!
Pair it with our Signature Range Dark Roast. The intense, bold flavour will enhance the richness of the coffee rub, creating a harmonious balance of tastes.
2. Pancake Paradise with a Coffee Twist
Transform your morning pancakes by adding cooked, crumbled bacon and a splash of brewed coffee to the batter. The coffee adds a subtle richness, while the bacon provides a salty, smoky contrast. Top with maple syrup and a pat of butter for a breakfast that's both sweet and savoury.
For a perfect pairing, try the Terbodore French Vanilla Filter Coffee. The sweet vanilla flavour will complement the coffee and bacon combination beautifully.
3. Savoury Coffee Bacon Breakfast Sandwich
Elevate your breakfast sandwich with bacon, a fried egg, and cheese on a toasted bagel or English muffin. Spread a mixture of brewed coffee and cream cheese with a touch of maple syrup on the bread. This coffee-infused spread adds a rich, slightly sweet flavour that complements the bacon perfectly.
To enhance this morning meal, pair it with the Lavazza Cremoso. This will bring a creamy and velvety taste that takes your sandwich to the next level.
4. Muffin Magic: Coffee and Bacon Fusion
Mix crumbled bacon and a splash of brewed coffee into your maple muffin batter for a breakfast treat that's both sweet and savoury. The coffee enhances the maple flavour, while the bacon adds a delightful bite, making these muffins perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast.
Use the Jacobs Cadbury Mocha Wholenut sachet for a nutty addition and extra chocolate goodness.
5. Omelette with a Coffee Kick
Whisk eggs with a splash of brewed coffee and pour into a hot skillet. Add cooked bacon, sautéed mushrooms, and a sprinkle of cheese. The coffee adds a subtle richness to the eggs, while the bacon provides a smoky, salty contrast, making this omelette a delicious breakfast option.
Use our Signature Range Mild Roast - Nespresso compatible coffee capsule for a mild easy flavour that will enrich your egg breakfast with just the right amount of depth.
Bacon Day is all about celebrating the versatility and joy of bacon, and when paired with coffee, the possibilities are endless. Whether you’re brewing up a pot of your favourite coffee to enjoy with a side of crispy bacon or getting creative with coffee-infused bacon dishes, this duo is sure to bring a smile to your face.
