Ingredients
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 sleeve buttery rectangular crackers (recommended: Waverly Wafers)
- 1 pound sliced bacon cut in 1/2
Directions
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
Place 1 teaspoon of the cheese on each cracker and wrap tightly with a strip of bacon. Place the wrapped crackers on a broiler rack on a baking sheet and put the baking sheets on the oven rack. Bake for 2 hours, or until the bacon is done. Do not turn. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot or at room temperature
Cook's note: You can also bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes if you're in a hurry!

I've probably made these a dozen times for various parties and they're always a hit! We made them last night, by request, for our annual New Year's Eve party. Not a single one was left. I told people about the negative reviews, the crackers absorbed the grease & the general response was "Well duh! What do you expect a cracker wrapped in bacon to do??" Seriously, did the negative reviewers actually understand what they were making?
We bake these on a Silpat, not on a rack. We've found they turn out better on the slow roast rather than the quick bake method, but both are delicious. We tend to put more than a teaspoon of Parmesan on them. I think the cheese is a must for the flavor. It's a very rich two bite appetizer. If you're looking for healthy, this is not for you. If you're looking for bacony goodness, you've found the right recipe!

I made these three times and they got RAVE REVIEWS each time. People LOVE these two bite apps. It helps to tuck the cheese under the bacon, otherwise it gets overcooked. These travel well, just watch the corners of the crackers as they can get a little brittle. Another version of this appetizer is to put brown sugar on the cracker instead of cheese. I haven't tried it yet.

This is divine. I followed the recipe exactly but did the shorter baking time. They came out perfect. I don't eat bacon and I loved these. I made a batch for my adult daughter's party and they were all gone, she said everyone loved them. I could have probably doubled or tripled the recipe and still not have enough.
I used plain Club crackers - in the green box - because that's what I had. The crackers get very tasty as they absorb some of the bacon fat. This is delicious against the crispiness of the bacon. Great combination and such a simple recipe to make.
I'm not sure if the cheese is needed or not in this recipe, I really couldn't taste it. So if you don't have any, just leave it out. I doubt it will make a difference in how these taste.
If you want to make your guests happy, make this recipe, they will love you for it. You may want to double the recipe and/or make extras for the cook to nibble on, they're addictive!
