This recipe comes from joythebaker.com and it is amazing. Bacon and coffee can't go wrong with that! We modified the original recipe just a little because using Storm Cold Brew Concentrate is even better.

coffee bacon recipe from Joy the Baker Cookbook
For the Bacon:
8 slices uncooked bacon
1 tablespoon of STORM COLD BREW CONCENTRATE
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons molasses (honey or maple syrup)
1 tablespoon water
For the Spread:
4 ounces goat cheese (or cream cheese)
4 medjool dates, pitted and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon lemon (or lime) zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon (or lime) juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
For the Sandwich:
fresh baby spinach leaves
crusty, toasted bread
Directions
Lay cascading bacon slices atop one another so that the fat is on top. Place bacon on top of a piece of plastic wrap or brown butcher paper.
In a small bowl, stir together STORM COLD BREW CONCENTRATE, chili powder, brown sugar, and molasses. Spread the mixture on top of the bacon slices, pressing with the back of a spoon. Wrap the bacon and coffee in the plastic wrap or butcher paper and place in the fridge. You may want to put the mixture in a large sealable bag to prevent any leaking. Let sit for 2 hours or overnight.
When ready to bake, place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the bacon slices on the paper in a single layer.
Bake until browned and crisp, 14 to 17 minutes, or until bacon has reached your desired crispiness. Remove from the oven, allow to drain on a piece of paper towel and assemble goat cheese spread.
To make the Spread: In a medium bowl, place goat cheese, pitted dates, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil and red pepper flakes. Use a fork to mash the ingredients together. Mash until well incorporated. Add a touch more lemon juice or olive oil to reach your desired consistency.
Spread goat cheese mixture on buttered and toasted bread. Top with coffee bacon and fresh spinach. Serve immediately.
And there you have it, savory coffee bacon sandwiches. For more awesome recipes visit joythebaker.com.
