How to Make Bacon Rollups

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese, softened, and 1 tablespoon milk. Stir until smooth and spreadable.
  3. Slice a loaf of bread into 12 slices. Spread 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each bread slice.
  4. Roll each slice tightly from the smaller end.
  5. Wrap each roll-up with 1/2 slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick.
  6. Arrange the bacon rollups on a baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the bread is golden brown. Flip halfway through if needed.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy! (Freezing instructions are not recommended)
