Bedeviled Bacon

Directions

1. 1
   Cut the bacon slices in half widthwise; set aside.
2. 2
   In a small mixing bowl, place the egg, mustard, cayenne pepper, and vinegar; using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until blended and smooth.
3. 3
   Pour the egg mixture into a pie pan; set aside.
4. 4
   Sprinkle the cracker meal over a 1-foot-square piece of waxed paper; set aside.
5. 5
   Dip the bacon pieces in the egg mixture; then, dredge lightly in the cracker meal and place, single layer, on ungreased broiler racks over broiler pans.
6. 6
   Let stand 15 minutes.
7. 7
   Bake the bacon in a preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes.
8. 8
   Watch carefully during the last few minutes of baking, as the bacon can overbrown quickly at the end of the baking period.
