PARMESAN BACON BREAD STICKS Page 5



25 Thin Alessi Bread Sticks
1/2 c. parmesan cheese
13 slices Thick Bacon cut lengthwise

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place the bacon in a plastic bag with the cheese and coat
(Can do a few hours ahead of time). Carefully wrap the cheese covered pieces of
bacon around the sticks. They break very easily. Lay on an un-greased cookie sheet. (Do not use foil, as it will stick to the bacon....trust me on that one) Bake for 1 hour. This can be served warm or at room temperature.
Yields 25 (or number of bread sticks/ bacon you have)
Note: Make this ahead of time, as there will be greasy, messy baking sheets to clean.
I've tried parchment paper,and it does help with clean up. I make these ahead of time,
and place them upright in a decorative vase. It let's me have more room on the table
for plates.
