Bacon Roll Ups | Bacon Pinwheels with Cream Cheese | Appetizer Recipe


Have you jumped on the bacon bandwagon yet?  This is an oldie but goody appetizer recipe for  Bacon Roll Ups for entertaining to serve on your Charcuterie Board or just watching Netflix at night!  

This family recipe was given to me and isn't too hard to make.  It's almost Keto - or Dirty Keto if you want to ignore the carbs in the bread.  OK, it has bacon and cream cheese, so it's good enough for me!

Bacon Cream Cheese Pinwheel Roll Ups




Tip:

When my mother-in-law owned her cheese and gourmet shop, we would make asparagus roll ups.  A tip was to cut off the crusts of the bread, and in a single row, place between two pieces of very wet paper towel for awhile. This would moisten the bread, and make it easier to roll up, without it crumbling.
