This fun appetizer will be the star of the show at any get-together or party.
Let’s be honest, anything that is wrapped in bacon is going to be incredibly tasty. And just like bacon-wrapped dates, scallops or pickles, these bacon-wrapped crackers are the perfect appetizer for any family gathering or party! Just remember to save some for yourself, before they are all gone.
What more could you want in an appetizer than a savory and smoky flavor? The mix of the bacon and the Parmesan cheese is a true match made in heaven. Then there’s the club crackers, which will give you that added crunch you crave! And once you make them, I know you will be adding these to your list of go-to recipes for years to come.
Are Bacon-Wrapped Crackers Healthy?
These crackers aren’t necessarily healthy, but they aren’t the worst appetizer in the game. That said, you can certainly change the recipe to fit your dietary needs! For instance, if you don’t want all the fat from regular bacon, you can try out turkey bacon! And if you want some healthier options than club crackers, whole wheat crackers or grain-free crackers would work great for this recipe, especially if you’re trying to cut out grains.
Why You Will Love This Recipe
Not only is this recipe incredibly easy to devour, it only uses three ingredients to make it. I personally love a short ingredient list for the sake of my bank account and overall, it’s less stressful. Another reason you’ll love these bite-sized appetizers? They only take 15 minutes to prep and 45 minutes to cook. This means after you put them in the oven, you can go on your merry way.
How do I store leftovers?
While they are best right out of the oven, you can store these bacon-wrapped crackers in a ziplock bag or airtight container for around 3 days.
