Step 4

Place bacon in a food processor and pulse until the bacon breaks down. You want a mixture of small pieces and crumbs. Add the butter, pepper and mustard to the bacon and pulse again to combine.

To make butter quenelles, use a deep tablespoon and room temperature bacon butter. Dip the spoon in hot water just before every butter quenelles and tap on the towel to shake off excess water. Dip the warm spoon into the butter, bring it towards you at the same time in a single motion, and wrap the spoon around the quenelle.
