D's Elegant Bacon Bites Oamc
I created the filling for this recipe specifically for my dearest friend, d. This is my personal version of the bacon bite recipe. It is full of complimentary flavors, easy to put together, and you can freeze them or serve them right away. I promise they will knock your socks off and those of your guests. The best part is that you can freeze them and pull a few out when you need them; make ahead for a party or bake them right away.
Steps
Place room temperature cream cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds to make easier to stir.
Mix together all of the ingredients , except the bleu cheese , until smooth.
Gently fold in the bleu cheese.
Set aside.
Trim the crusts from the slices of bread.
Use a rolling pin or a heavy bottle to roll over each slice of bread to lightly compact it.
Otherwise , the bread may crack and split as you try to roll it.
Spread the slices with the filling , covering it completely , trying not to overfill.
Roll the bread up from the short side , pressing down just enough to make it stick to itself.
Wrap a slice of bacon around the roll , overlapping the bacon to cover the bread completely.
Trim off any excess bacon once you reach the end.
Do not cover the ends of the roll with the bacon.
Freeze the wrapped rolls for 30 minutes to firm them up.
You can freeze these for oamc.
I have also baked them immediately after rolling them with no problem as long as the bacon remains cold.
To bak.
