Ingredients for Bacon Crackers

  • Buttery Crackers
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • 12 slices bacon, cut in half

How to Make Bacon Crackers

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the foil.
  3. Place 1 teaspoon of shredded cheddar cheese onto each club cracker.
  4. Wrap each cracker with half a slice of bacon, securing it gently.
  5. Arrange the bacon-wrapped crackers on the wire rack, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  6. Bake for 120-140 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on them during the last 20 minutes to prevent burning.
  7. Let the crackers cool slightly on the rack before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
