Step 1

Heat a large skillet on medium heat. When warm, add bacon and cook until crispy. Set aside on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain and cool. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease for the aioli.

Step 2

Put the egg yolks, minced garlic, lemon juice, and honey in a blender, pulsing until combined.

Step 3

Turn the blender on low speed and slowly pour the canola oil and reserved bacon grease in while the blender is running until it creates a thick emulsion.

Step 4

Crumble the bacon, reserving about 1 tbsp for garnish. Add the bacon crumbles, salt, and pepper to the blender and combine at low speed until mostly smooth, scraping the sidewalls of the blender as needed. Taste and add more salt, pepper, or honey to adjust the flavor to your liking.

Step 5

Garnish with reserved bacon crumbles and serve.
