Bacon Wrapped Grilled Cheese Fingers

Ingredients

• 18 slice bread(320g)
• 28 slice cheese(160g)
• 38 slice bacon(200g)
• 42 tablespoon butter, softened(28g)
• 50.5 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)(1.5g)
• 61 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)(1g)

Instructions

1. 1Remove the crusts from the bread, then flatten each slice lightly with a rolling pin.
2. 2Place one slice of cheese on each piece of bread and roll tightly into a finger shape.
3. 3Wrap one slice of bacon around each bread roll, making sure it overlaps slightly to stay in place. If needed, secure the end with a toothpick.
4. 4Mix the softened butter with garlic powder and parsley if using, then brush lightly over the rolls.
5. 5Arrange them on a baking tray lined with baking paper or place them in an air fryer basket.
6. 6Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 18 to 22 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the bacon is crisp and the cheese is melted. Alternatively, cook in an air fryer at 180°C (356°F) for 10 to 12 minutes.
7. 7Let them rest for 2 minutes before serving so the cheese settles slightly.
8. 8Serve hot with ranch, honey mustard, or marinara sauce if desired.
