Barely a recipe, more of a technique, but it went over gangbusters in my house. Bacon is topped with a layer of brown sugar and a crack of pepper before baking. I used substantially less brown sugar than pictured, which I think was right for a basic breakfast meat. On the other hand, in future I'll probably be more aggressive than I was with the pepper; the brown sugar gives a lot of cover before you get to "pepper bacon" territory.

My technique needs work, but I did enjoy making these and they were pretty tasty. Not having a spaetzle press, I opted for a tip from the comments to try piping the dough into the boiling water. I learned a couple of things, primarily to make the hole in the piping bag even smaller than I thought, and to allow it to drizzle into the water by gravity more than squeezing it out like icing. Also it makes a pretty big batch; I will definitely end up freezing some and seeing how it reheats.
