Bacon Aioli

We’re here to share something we’ve been loving in our kitchen lately - a Bacon Aioli recipe. It’s a delicious mix that’s captured our hearts…and stomachs. This aioli is great on sandwiches, adding a creamy touch that complements any filling; as a dip, it’s a hit with both veggies and fries, creating a tasty contrast of textures and flavors, and when used as a dressing, it transforms any salad into something unique.

Now, about making this aioli - we’ve kept it simple. Our recipe uses ingredients you’re likely to have in your kitchen, and the steps are easy to follow. For this recipe, we use mayonnaise for a quick aioli, but you can also create aioli from scratch or use storebought aioli.

This crispy bacon texture is key - it adds a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creamy aioli. We prefer using thick-cut bacon because it retains a good amount of its size and texture even after cooking. Once cooked, we let it cool down before chopping it into small, bite-sized pieces.

Time-saving

Since this recipe uses a lot of garlic (six cloves to make the aioli), we recommend trying our time-saving garlic paste recipe. This has made our meal prep so easy since we never need to peel or mince our garlic while cooking - what a hack!
