How to Make Bacon Cheddar Bites

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cook bacon until crispy. Remove from pan and crumble; set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, green onions (if using), garlic powder (if using), and black pepper. Mix well.
  4. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto each slice of French bread.
  5. Arrange bread slices on an ungreased baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the topping is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned. (For frozen bites, bake for 12-15 minutes.)
