Abalone Hors d'oeuvres
Recipe courtesy Brad Buckley
Ingredients
12 slices bacon
12 pieces Monterey jack, pepper jack, or fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into strips
12 (1-ounce) abalone steaks
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the bacon strips on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until bacon is about halfway cooked, about 5
to 10 minutes, making sure not to crisp the bacon. Remove the bacon from the oven, drain on paper
towels and cool.
Place a piece of cheese on top of each steak and roll the steak up around the cheese. Wrap a piece
of bacon around each steak, covering as much of the exposed steak as possible. Cut off any excess
bacon and secure the rolls with a toothpick.
