A delightful dish combining tender asparagus with crispy bacon and a flavorful onion glaze.
Cook the bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until crispy, turning occasionally.
Keep an eye on the bacon to prevent overcooking; remove it from the skillet as soon as it's crispy.
Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on paper towels to drain.
Pat the bacon gently with paper towels to remove excess grease.
Discard the bacon drippings from the skillet, but do not wash it.
Leaving a small amount of bacon grease in the skillet adds flavor to the onions.
Place the asparagus in a microwaveable dish and add a splash of water.
Cover the dish loosely with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap to steam the asparagus.
Microwave the asparagus on high for 4 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
Check the asparagus for doneness by piercing it with a fork; it should be tender but still firm.
In the same skillet, cook the onions over medium heat until they are soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
Stir the onions frequently to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
Add the balsamic vinegar, honey, and black pepper to the onions, stirring to combine.
Taste the glaze and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding a pinch of salt or more honey.
Drain the asparagus and arrange it on a serving plate.
Arrange the asparagus neatly for an appealing presentation.
Top the asparagus with the onion glaze and crumbled bacon.
Sprinkle some fresh herbs, like parsley or chives, on top for added color and flavor.
Serve the dish warm and enjoy.
Pair this dish with a light white wine or iced tea for a refreshing meal.
