[edit] Ingredients
1 |
cup grated parmesan |
2 |
|
1 |
teaspoon of cayenne pepper |
½ |
teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg |
24 |
slices bacon |
24 |
long breadsticks |
You will also need: parchment paper |
[edit] Preparation
Step 1 |
Preheat oven to 350 |
Step 2 |
Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. |
Step 3 |
In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the parmesan, garlic salt, cayenne and nutmeg. |
Step 4 |
GENTLY wrap each breadstick with a slice of bacon (so breadsticks don’t break), then place wrapped bread sticks on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. If you break one, just cut bacon to fit and add to sheet. No one will care if the pieces are small. |
Step 5 |
Bake for 15 minutes or until bacon is cooked to your liking. |
Step 6 |
Next, roll the breadsticks in cheese & spices. Do this while bacon and breadsticks are still warm, then set aside and let cool. (Peter loves this part!) |
Step 7 |
Can be made a day ahead and even taste great cold (hey, it’s bacon)! |

[edit] About Bacon Wrapped Breadsticks
I’ve been making this EASY BACON appetizer for years. The original recipe is from Paula Deen, and they can be made a day or two before you need them. I added cayenne (for heat) and fresh nutmeg to the original mix.
Paula Deen likes sesame seed breadsticks because the seeds help hold on the bacon, but sometimes I use cheese-flavored breadsticks for that extra punch.
