Add some luxury to your next breakfast or brunch.

But one of my favorite spots, just a few blocks from my apartment, is the restaurantKitchen Story.

It lives up to its name with a sweet and spicy richness.

First up is the seasonings.

My version also adds a touch of ginger and paprika to give the bacon even more complexity.

Then, theres the cut.

Thick-cut bacon is required for this recipe, and center-cut bacon is preferred.

The thicker pieces absorb more seasoning and cook into chewy slabs, giving Millionaires Bacon its signature texture.

And lastly, how it is cooked.

Brush one piece of bacon with maple syrup on both sides.

Transfer the coated bacon to the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Repeat brushing and dipping with the remaining bacon slices.

Try not to let the bacon slices touch or overlap on the baking sheet.

Bake the coated bacon for 15 minutes.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven, flip the bacon over, and return it to the oven.

Bake until the bacon starts to caramelize on the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.

Simple Tip!

While the bacon is cooking, line another baking sheet with parchment paper.

Do not put the bacon on paper towels; it will stick to it.

Serve once the bacon has cooled and hardened on the clean parchment paper.
