Microwave Bacon-Wrapped Cheese Sticks: Easy & Gooey Snack!

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 4 mozzarella sticks
• 4 strips of pre-cooked bacon

How to Wrap Pre-Cooked Bacon Around Mozzarella Sticks

1. Choose Flexible Bacon: Ensure the pre-cooked bacon is pliable and not too crisp to prevent it from breaking while wrapping.
2. Prepare the Cheese: Use chilled mozzarella sticks for easier handling and to help the bacon stick.
3. Wrap Carefully:
   • Lay a strip of pre-cooked bacon on a flat surface.
   • Place a mozzarella stick at one end of the bacon.
   • Wrap the bacon tightly around the cheese stick, overlapping slightly as you go.
4. Secure (Optional): If necessary, use a toothpick to hold the bacon in place during cooking. Remove it before serving.
5. Follow the instructions below

Instructions

1. Wrap each mozzarella stick with one strip of pre-cooked bacon.

Serving Suggestions & Variations

• Spicy Kick: Add a light sprinkle of red pepper flakes before wrapping for extra heat.
