Ingredients

You can't go wrong when there are only FOUR ingredients. Does it get much easier than this?

A few ingredient notes:

• The type of bread you use makes a big difference in the outcome. Make sure you use English muffin toasting bread or Pepperidge Farm Original White Bread. If you try to use regular wheat bread, you will not get the same crunchy results.
• Use whipped cream cheese for easy spreading.

Time saving tip: Want to make this even easier? Buy a tub of spreadable chive and garlic cream cheese and use instead of the plain cream cheese and fresh chives.

Instructions

It's simple to make these little bites of goodness:

Step 1: Cut the crusts off the all of the bread and reserve those for another use.

Step 2: Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on each slice of bread.

Step 3: Sprinkle with chives.

Step 4: Using the long side of the bread, roll into a log form.

Step 5: Spiral wrap the bacon around each log.

Step 6: Cut each piece of bacon bread in half. Step 7: Bake until crisp.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ▢ 1 loaf English Muffin Bread or Pepperidge Farm Original White Bread crusts cut off
• ▢ 1 12-ounce tub reduced fat cream cheese spread
• ▢ 1½ cup chopped fresh chives
• ▢ 1 pound bacon regular thickness

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set aside.

• Starting at one end, roll each slice of bread into a tight cylinder. Wrap a slice of bacon around each cylinder, spiraling to cover the whole piece of bread. Cut each cylinder in half. (I use my kitchen shears.)
