HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Starting off 2021 with one of our favorite appetizers of all time! You are going to love this simple recipe that is sure to wow a crowd wherever you go — and yes, we say a crowd because it’s a new year and we have to believe in the power of positivity!
This appetizier is great for any occasion, only takes 3 ingredients, and is virtually impossible to mess up! You’re going to want to keep this recipe handy the next time you need to bring an app!
Ingredients:
Grissini (thin breadsticks)
1 package regularly sliced bacon
1-2 cups brown sugar
Instructions:
1. Line a baking sheet completely with aluminum foil or parchment paper (this is crucial for ease and clean up).
2. Take grissini and break in half so you have pretty uniform sized pieces. Breaking in half is optional, but we find the bite size is better as an app and goes further!
3. Take your bacon and cut in half, and then cut again long-ways — you want pieces of bacon that are almost as long as your grissini and thin. This makes it much easier to wrap the bacon on the grissini and for it to stay!
4. Wrap each grissini in a piece of bacon, going diagonally down so you are covering as much of the grissini as you can!
5. Lay out 1 cup of brown sugar (to start) in a pie dish or plate. Then take each bacon-wrapped grissini and roll in the sugar, pressing lightly to coat the entire stick!
6. Line them up on your sheet and bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes — you want the bacon to get crispy! Check them half way as you may want to roll them a little bit. Do not worry if the brown sugar starts to pool around them; this is normal!
7. Once they are done, take them out, and let them cool *slightly* for a couple of minutes. Take tongs and give them one last roll in all that extra gooey goodness before plating!
*Be careful not to let them cool too much as the sugar will get hard and they will stick!*
8. Serve and enjoy!!!
