Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices bacon
- 4 T. butter (melted)
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 + 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 T. granulated sugar
- 1 T. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 5 T. Bonne Maman wild blueberry preserves (divided)
- 4 oz. Brie (rind removed and cheese cubed)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place the bacon on a wire rack inside of a rimmed baking sheet. Place into the oven and let bake for 35 – 40 minutes until the bacon has started to brown up.
- In a small dish, add 1 T. of preserves and 1/2 tsp. warm water. Stir until the preserves thin out a little.
- Flip the bacon. Brush the preserves on top of the bacon. Place back into the oven and bake for 12 minutes.
- Flip the bacon once more. Brush the preserves on top of the bacon. Place back into the oven and bake for another 12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool. Begin making the pancake batter.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until incorporated. Make sure the eggs are thoroughly whisked in. Set aside.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, add in the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour. Whisk until all of the flour is incorporated. There may be a couple of lumps.
- Grease a 9×13 cake pan.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Spread out.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top of the pancake batter. Poke it down into the batter.
- Crumble up the candied bacon and sprinkle over top of the batter.
- In a small bowl, add in 4 T. of the blueberry preserves. Add in 1 teaspoon of warm water and stir until the preserves is slightly thinned out.
- Drizzle the preserves on top of the batter. Use a toothpick and swirl the batter into the preserves just to give it a pretty design.
- Place into the oven and bake for 50 – 55 minutes or until done. Mine took 51 minutes exactly. Use the toothpick test to check.
- Serve up immediately. Add some whipped cream and more preserves!
