These irresistible party snacks are easy to put together with pantry staples. Cooking them slowly allows the bacon flavor to soak into the crackers. A brush of jelly at the end helps cut through the richness.

Ingredients

1 sleeve (about 32) oval buttery crackers

1/3 cup grated Parmesan

1 pound thinly sliced bacon, each strip halved crosswise

2 tablespoons red currant or red pepper jelly

Cayenne pepper, for sprinkling, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Lay the crackers face up on a clean work surface and scoop 1/2 teaspoon Parmesan on each. Wrap each cracker with a piece of the bacon so the seam side is on the bottom and the cracker and cheese are covered as much as possible. Place the crackers seam-side down on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Bake until the bacon is golden and crisp, about 1 hour.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk together the jelly with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl and microwave on high until warmed through and loose, about 30 seconds; add more water if necessary.
  4. When the crackers are done, brush each with the jelly, sprinkle with the cayenne if using and serve immediately.

These were ok. Mine were ready after 45 mins. They would’ve been burnt if I had left them in for an hour. I think next time, I will try baking lower and slower (250 for 1-2 hours??). I did like the glaze. I used a mango habanero jelly that I had on-hand. Gave it a nice kick.
