Bacon Aioli Recipe: The Best Homemade Bacon Aioli Sauce

A rich, creamy, and smoky aioli made with crispy bacon, garlic, and egg yolks. This Bacon Aioli is the perfect condiment to elevate your burgers, fries, sandwiches, and more. With its smooth texture and savory flavor, it adds a delicious twist to any dish.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 1 cup of Bacon Aioli (enough for 4-6 servings) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 slices of bacon, chopped

  • 2 large egg yolks

  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 cup olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon:
    Fry the chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease. Set aside.

  2. Prepare the Aioli Base:
    In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, minced garlic, Dijon mustard (if using), and lemon juice.

  3. Emulsify the Sauce:
    Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly to emulsify the mixture. Continue whisking until the aioli becomes thick and creamy.

  4. Add the Bacon:
    Stir in the crispy bacon pieces into the aioli. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Chill:
    Cover and refrigerate the bacon aioli for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes

  • You can use turkey bacon for a lighter version of this recipe.

  • If the aioli is too thick, you can thin it with a teaspoon of warm water until you reach the desired consistency.

 

  • For a spicier variation, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce.
