by Brandi Milloy

Ingredients

• 8 oz. bacon or 8 slices bacon

• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

• 1/4 tsp. cracked black pepper

• 2 cups blueberries

• 1 tbsp. maple syrup

• 1 roll refrigerated crescent dough

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Into a bowl add your bacon, brown sugar and black pepper and mix to coat. Place bacon on baking sheet and bake in oven for 18 minutes, rotating halfway through. Remove from oven and cool.

2. Meanwhile make your blueberry spread by adding blueberries and maple syrup into a pot. Place on medium high heat and bring to a boil. Cook for about 3 minutes and then remove from heat and let it cool.

3. To assemble, lay out crescent dough on a baking sheet keeping the dough in one large rectangle shape. Brush about 4 tbsp. of the blueberry spread onto dough. Top with bacon and bake at 350F for about 15 minutes. Chop into pieces and serve warm or room temperature.
