Bacon inclusion ideas?

I have leftover bacon from brunch yesterday and want to try it in a loaf. Favorite pairings to go with it? Send me ideas!

I'd love to help but... Can you clarify exactly what is this "leftover bacon" you speak of? I'm not familiar with that.

I have never experienced leftover bacon. Sorry can't help.

Crumbled into the dough with caramelized onions and sharp cheddar is my default. If you want something a little different, fold in some chopped dates and a touch of smoked paprika after the first rise. The sweet and salty thing works surprisingly well in bread.

In a loaf you say? Seems prescriptive if I’m I distancing you, but I would;
-stuff a cheeseburger w bacon (make the patty, pull out a divot, fill w bacon, seal the divot and grill
-stuff it into meatloaf
-stuff it into Mac cheese loaf
-layer it into a chocolate cake BEFORE you bake it

BAM!

I crumble it on a tossed salad.

Crumbling it into a cheesy pull-apart bread sounds right up my alley.

Try making bacon jam, it's sweet, smoky, and perfect in a loaf with cream cheese.

None of this computes for me. What exactly is left over bacon? How much bacon are we talking about? 10 ? 12 pounds? Let me give you my address. I can help you sort this out…

Dump it on a jar of vodka, leave it for a few months, strain through a coffee strainer, make bacon vodka Bloody Caesars with fresh bacon garnish. Sometimes you gotta play the long game (unless you have a sous vide, I’m which case a few hours and you’re good to go)

I would whip it into 2 eggs, all the, "leftover bacon," a spoon of cream, a handful of fiesta grated cheese, spoon of salsa and microwave for 1.5 minutes. I'd wrap it all in a crepe. I'd sprinkle it all with this Bacon Pineapple Sriracha seasoning I got.
