Crispy Bacon Eclairs with Chocolate Glaze


3 slices Bacon, cut into small pieces
1 cup Water
1 stick Butter
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Sugar
1 cup Flour
4 Eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate


Preheat a small skillet to medium heat.  Fry bacon until crispy.  Drain the bacon on a paper towel.

Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F.

In a large pot, bring water and butter to a rolling boil.  Turn the heat to low.  With a wooden spoon, stir in flour, salt, and sugar until the mixture forms a ball.  Transfer the dough into a large mixing bowl, let it cool for about 5 minutes.  Using electric mixer, beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.  Mix in the crispy bacon.  Drop by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes.  Turn the heat down to 375 degrees F.  Bake for another 25 minutes, until golden brown.  Move onto a cooling rack.

Once Eclairs cooled off, melt the chocolate.  Dip each eclair in some chocolate. Place on the platter.

Makes 10-12
