Description
Crispy, buttery bread rolled with smoky bacon and infused with garlic — an irresistible and easy-to-make appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
- 8 slices white or sandwich bread, crusts trimmed
- 8 strips cooked bacon (preferably thick-cut)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Cook bacon until just shy of crispy; it will finish crisping in the oven.
- Trim crusts off the bread and flatten each slice with a rolling pin.
- Melt butter and stir in minced garlic. Add parsley or seasoning if using.
- Brush one side of each bread slice with garlic butter.
- Place a strip of bacon on the unbuttered side, roll tightly, and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush tops with more garlic butter.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes, turning halfway through until golden and crispy.
- Serve warm, optionally garnished with parsley or Parmesan.
Notes
- Use real butter for the best flavor and browning.
- Flattening the bread helps with rolling and crisping.
- Use a baking rack for extra crispiness.
- Serve with dips like marinara, ranch, or aioli.
