How to make bacon and Philadelphia appetizers
Take the first slice of sandwich bread and spread Philadelphia, the layer of cream should be nice and thick.
Place another slice of bread on top and cut.
First create rectangles and then small squares of 1 to 1.25 inches per side. They should be bite-sized.
At this point, wrap each square with bacon.
Next, place them on a baking tray, season with rosemary needles and a drizzle of oil. Bake at 392°F for about 12-15 minutes or until you see the bacon crispy.
Once out of the oven, decorate them with the Christmas toothpick, or a simple food toothpick. Serve immediately hot, but they are also delicious cold.
