Hot Bacon Dressing

Local tomatoes, peaches, basil, and bacon, freshly baked bread, honey from our neighborhood beekeepers ...what more you could want in an easy and fresh summery dish? YUM.

Plus, you can find these ingredients and more from vendors at the market!


Dressing

  • 6 thick-cute slices of bacon, chopped
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons campagne or white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fig preserves or honey
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • chili flakes, to taste
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste


Crostini

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 sourdough or fresh baguette, sliced
  • 1 log of goat cheese (or 1 large mozzarella ball, or 1 block of your favorite soft cheese)
  • 2 peaches, chopped or sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (or your favorite slicer tomato variety, cut in quarters or eighths)

Instructions

  1. To make the dressing, combine all ingredients except the bacon in a glass jar and whisk until smooth.
  2. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain onto a paper towel. Stir the bacon into the dressing.
  3. Preheat your grill to high heat or preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  4. To make the crostini, mix the olive oil, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Place the bread on a baking sheet and rub/drizzle with the garlic oil. Place the bread on the grill and grill both sides for 2-3 minutes per side or until lightly toasted. Remove from the grill.
  5. Toss the peaches and tomatoes with a few tablespoons of dressing. Spread the cheese over the warm bread. Top with the dressing, peaches, tomatoes, and fresh basil. Drizzle over the remaining dressing.

Enjoy!

Ninth Street Bakery
About Ninth Street Bakery: Determined to change the bread landscape, Ninth Street Bakery was founded by two brothers in 1981 fresh from a stint baking at the Tassajara Zen Center with monk Ed Espe Brown. They brought with them recipes for wholegrain goodness and a mind for doing good works in Durham. Known by many for its seeded sliced pan loaves, NSB now has crusty artisan bread products that burst with the flavors of natural levain, and flaky pastries that slow rise to perfection. Helmed by baker Ari Berenbaum since 2013, NSB sits at Five Points in Durham, an anchor business in an ever-changing city. We have a full service café, as well as a robust wholesale program that covers the Triad from Greensboro to Raleigh, Durham to Chapel Hill and Carrboro. We give back to the community via our Bakery- and donor-supported Durham Neighbors program, an in-house experiment in Universal Basic Income whereby we Cashapp 100+ low-income local families every month $50 which goes to much-needed groceries, utility bills, or diapers. We are psyched to be now an official member of the Durham Farmer’s Market, joining an illustrious crew of artisans and purveyors who are dedicated to local, independent, small business, and Southern gastronomical culture. You can follow us at Instagram.com/ninthstreetbakery or read Ari’s musings on bread and Durham at blog.ninthstbakery.com.
