5 Ways to Use Bacon Onion Jam
If you've tried Nanny Dots Bacon Onion Jam, you already know it's dangerously good. Sweet, savory, smoky, and deeply satisfying — it's one of those condiments that makes everything taste better. But if you've only been putting it on burgers, you're leaving a lot on the table.
Here are five of our favorite ways to use Bacon Onion Jam that might just change the way you cook.
1. The Ultimate Grilled Cheese Upgrade
Spread a generous layer of Bacon Onion Jam on the inside of your bread before grilling. Pair it with sharp cheddar or gruyère for a grilled cheese that tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant. The jam caramelizes slightly as it heats, adding a rich, jammy depth that plain butter just can't touch.
2. Charcuterie Board Star
No charcuterie board is complete without a small jar of Bacon Onion Jam front and center. It bridges the gap between salty cured meats and creamy cheeses like brie, camembert, or aged gouda. Spoon it directly onto a cracker with a slice of Battistoni salami and a sliver of cheese — it's the bite everyone will ask about.
3. Burger and Sandwich Spread
Skip the ketchup. A spoonful of Bacon Onion Jam on a burger, pulled pork sandwich, or even a classic BLT adds a layer of complex, slow-cooked flavor in seconds. It pairs especially well with sharp cheeses and arugula for a little bitterness to balance the sweetness.
4. Baked Brie Topping
Looking for an easy, crowd-pleasing appetizer? Score a wheel of brie, spoon Bacon Onion Jam generously on top, and bake at 375°F for 10–12 minutes until the cheese is melty and the jam is bubbling. Serve with crusty bread or crackers. It takes five minutes of effort and looks like you spent hours.
5. Savory Flatbread or Pizza Base
Swap your tomato sauce for Bacon Onion Jam as a flatbread base. Top with caramelized onions, fresh thyme, and crumbled goat cheese for a French-inspired tarte flambée vibe. Or go bold — add Battistoni cup and char pepperoni and a drizzle of Hot Crispy Oil after baking. Trust us.
Keep a Jar in Your Fridge
Bacon Onion Jam is one of those pantry staples you'll reach for every week once it's in your rotation. Whether you're entertaining or just making a weeknight sandwich feel special, it delivers every time.
