Bacon Cheese Bites (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
1 lb standard or thin-cut bacon (avoid thick slices)
02 -
1-1.5 packs of Club crackers
03 -
One package (5.3 oz) of Boursin cheese (herb and garlic or black pepper)
→ Topping
04 -
2 tablespoons of crushed red pepper flakes
05 -
Half a cup of packed dark brown sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Cover a baking tray with foil or parchment to catch any bacon drippings, then put a cooling rack on top.
02 -
Pour red pepper flakes and brown sugar into two small bowls. Cut bacon strips into four pieces to match the size of the crackers.
03 -
Spread Boursin cheese on crackers, about an eighth of an inch thick. Arrange them neatly on the rack you prepped earlier.
04 -
Lay a piece of the cut-up bacon on top of each cracker, then generously sprinkle some brown sugar. Add a bit of red pepper flakes to finish.
05 -
Bake for 35-45 minutes. Rotate the tray halfway through baking and start checking after 30 minutes. They’re ready when bacon is cooked and the edges turn golden.

These are great served warm or at room temperature!
