Ingredients (for 2)

Snow peas - 1 cup - stringed and halved
Bacon slices, maple flavored - 4 - None
Artisan bread loaf - 1 - unsliced
Butter - 4 tablespoons - melted
Maple syrup - 2 tablespoons - None
Garlic - 2 cloves - minced
Thyme - 1 tablespoon - chopped
Black pepper - 1 teaspoon - freshly ground
Salt - to taste - None

Preparation

Step 1 - 🌡️🥓🍁

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the bacon slices on a baking sheet and coat with a tablespoon of maple syrup. Roast until crispy, about 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, chop into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2 - 🥬🥣🔥

Add the snow peas, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper on the same baking sheet, roast until they turn bright green and slightly tender, around 5-10 minutes.
Step 3 - 🍞🔪💎

Use a sharp knife to make diagonal slashes on the bread about an inch apart, ensure not to cut through the bottom. Rotate and repeat to create a diamond pattern.
Step 4 - 🧈🧄🌿

In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, minced garlic, chopped thyme, remaining maple syrup, salt, and pepper.
Step 5 - 🍲🥖💦

Brush or spread the butter mixture between each cut in the bread. Tuck in the roasted snow peas and crispy bacon pieces into the cuts.
Step 6 - 🍞🔥🟤

Wrap the bread in aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the bread turns crispy and golden brown on top.
Step 7 - ⏲️🍽️😋

Allow the bread to cool down for a few minutes before serving.

Additional

Feel free to substitute bacon with turkey bacon or leave it out completely for a vegetarian option. Kids can safely help out by brushing the bread with butter mixture or inserting the roasted snow peas and bacon. You can also add some cheese for a more decadent version. It's a versatile dish that you can modify to cater to different taste preferences while keeping it delightfully fresh and unique.
