Pull-Apart Bacon Cheese Bread

Pull-Apart Bacon Cheese BreadThere is just no excuse for this. None at all. Yesterday, I was eating curried tofu and a salad from the Turnip Truck and feeling all virtuous about myself. This morning, I made the pull-apart bacon bread. There is not a single redeeming ingredient in this fantastic bread unless you count the red onion and green pepper. I say let’s count them.

I am not sure why bacon has taken off as the “it” food, but it has. There is bacon everything. For Christmas I got bacon bandages (not bandages made with actual bacon – that would be too gross even for me), bacon coffee mugs, bacon tissues and a cute bacon calendar. I have bacon t-shirts and wall plaques. There are even ridiculous infomercials about bacon devices, such as the contraption you can use to make bacon cups. I plan to try that idea soon using a muffin tin. Maybe I’ll fill them with lettuce and tomato and call it a deconstructed BLT. Or fill them with buttered toasted bread rounds and scrambled eggs and call it a deconstructed breakfast. My head is swimming. So many possibilities.

Seriously, try the bread. It’s a snap to make and you can add or subtract anything you like. Smoked dried tomatoes? Yes, indeed. Spinach, just to add even more healthful properties to the bread. Of course. More bacon? That’s never a bad idea.
