Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices Cooked bacon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to broil on high and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 2
Slice the baguette into 16 even slices, about 1/2 inch thick each.
Step 3
Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop. Stir in garlic powder.
Step 4
Lightly brush one side of each baguette slice with the garlic butter. Place the slices, buttered side up, on a baking sheet.
Step 5
Finely chop the cooked bacon slices and set them aside.
Step 6
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Step 7
Sprinkle a generous amount of the cheese mixture on top of each baguette slice, followed by the chopped bacon.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color, if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your Broiled Bacon and Cheese Bites!
