BACON-WRAPPED GRILLED CHEESE ROLL-UPS
We served this with a salad, however, it would make a good and filling appetizer as well. I would be tempted to cut them in half if they are going to be
served as appetizers. Make them ahead of time and reheat gently in the oven or microwave oven.
8 slices Jiffy Plain bread, (see recipe below)
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese (250 mL)
8 slices bacon
(cooked but still supple – use microwave),
OR use pre-cooked store-bought bacon
1/4 cup butter (60 mL)
Jiffy Plain Bread: Prepare Jiffy Plain bread below. Add 1/2 tsp (2 mL) unflavored gelatin to the wet ingredients (I didn't do this before..but I am doing it here for this recipe...you could use xanthan gum instead). Allow bread to cool enough to slice in half. You will 8 slices of bread without crusts.
Roll bread with rolling pin…don’t roll thin…just smoosh it a bit. Spread 2 tbsp (30 mL) Cheddar cheese over top of the bread. Gently roll up bread to center and then once more. Wrap one piece of bacon around the roll-up and secure with toothpicks. Set aside and repeat with the remainder of the ingredients.
In nonstick pan, over medium heat, melt about 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter. Using tongs, dip top and bottom ends in butter to coat and then fry a few in the butter (adding a little more as necessary) on all sides until turning golden brown. Set aside and once the second batch is done, serve immediately.
Helpful Hints: The bread needs to be freshly made for the rolling process to work best. The bread may crack slightly. You can pinch it closed with your fingers, but if not very successful, don’t worry about it as you can secure it nicely with the bacon. If you prefer, for the plain bread, you can simply use salt instead of onion salt. Be careful not to use the sweetener. That would taste weird! By the way the Jiffy Cinnamon Raisin bread is addictive - incredibly bread-like and is good as bread or toast. I love it!
