Ingredients for Bacon Crisp

  • Parmesan Cheese
  • 12-15 saltine crackers or your preferred cracker
  • 6-8 slices bacon, cut in half lengthwise

How to Make Bacon Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. Place 1 teaspoon of shredded cheddar cheese onto each cracker.
  3. Wrap each cracker tightly with a strip of bacon (approximately 4 inches long).
  4. Place the wrapped crackers on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This allows for even cooking and crispiness.
  5. Bake for 120-130 minutes, or until the bacon is perfectly crisp and cooked through. Do not turn the crackers during baking.
  6. Remove from oven and let the bacon crisps drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
  7. Serve hot or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
