Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread, crusts removed
- 8 slices of cheese or 1 cup+ grated cheddar
- 8 slices precooked bacon
- 1/4 butter
Preparation
Step 1
Using a rolling pin, roll slices of bread flat.
Place one slice of cheese (or 2-3 tablespoons grated cheddar). Roll up bread & cheese. Wrap one slice of bacon around each roll securing with a toothpick.
Place in a pan over medium-low heat. Add a small spoonful of butter & using tongs, rub the rolls in the butter ensuring the bread edges are covered. Continue adding bits of butter and turning with tongs until all sides are browned and cheese is melted.
Looks delicious but I would make it would crossiant rolls and omit the butter.
I’ve made these for years, however I use soft (whipped) cream cheese with pineapple (you can use any flavor you’d like), or you could use any spreadable soft cheese such as pimento cheddar, or an herbed cheese. Don’t go too heavy or it will ooze out. After rolling the bread (i do cut crusts off but I don’t flatten bread, tho you could if you wanted to), I cut each log in half so you have 2 pieces. I then use raw bacon and wrap the bacon around the bread one time only and secure with toothpick. I put each wrapped roll on a broiler pan and broil till bacon is crispy then turn each roll with tongs and repeat till bacon is cooked all around, or a jelly roll pan (with sides) and bake at 375 degrees till bacon is crispy then turn each roll with tongs and repeat till bacon is cooked all around, or place the rolls on a foil pan on a grill till bacon is crispy then turn each roll with tongs and repeat till bacon is cooked all around. Very versatile cooking methods too! The original poster’s recipe is a good one (with the single cheese slice), but if you don’t want to use butter, use raw bacon, and an alternative cooking method as I’ve used. They are very forgiving, and people will beg for more so use an entire loaf of bread for a party (I always make 2 loaves)!
Going to try with crescent roll dough and partially cooked bacon for wrapping following package directions on Crescents.
