Bacon Wrapped Parmesan Crackers

Bacon Wrapped Parmesan Crackers

Everybody needs a little bacon in their life, right?! My neice introduced me to these bacon wrapped parmesan crackers a few years ago. Actually, her mother in law made them all the time and every chance I got – I’d swine a handful or two. Or three. They were always THE appetizer of all the family gatherings and since it’s New Year’s Eve I figured what the heck. I’ll make up a batch. They’re way too good not to share.

So I’m sharing the love.

And the fat.

And the calories.

P.S. The printable recipe is further down below if you’d like to print it off to stick in your recipe box. Now…..after I write this up, I have to go swat my husband’s hand out of these before they’re all gone!!!

 

Ingredients:

  • buttery crackers, we used Ritz
  • package of thin sliced bacon
  • parmesan cheese

 

Directions:

Lay crackers out on a baking rack that has slits in it, to allow bacon grease to drip. We used a broiler pan. You can use a cooling rack on top of a regular cookie sheet if needed. Just make sure the grease has something to drip on while in the oven.

Dump a teaspoon of parmesan cheese over each cracker. Some will fall off, that’s okay.

Slice bacon in half, right down the middle of the package.

Now’s the tricky part. Peel off a slice of bacon, then carefully pick up a cracker making sure not to lose too much cheese off the top. Just lay the bacon across the top of the cheese and wrap each end around the backside of the cracker. The ends of the bacon should meet. Just snugly press the ends together and then lay back down on the baking sheet.

Bake in a 250 degree pre-heated oven, for 2 hours. Take a peek around 1 hour and 45 minutes though to see if they’re done. Depending on how thin the bacon is, they could be done a little sooner.

DO NOT use thick sliced bacon. The end result is still okay, but they turn out more chewy than crisp.
