I had intended to cook these up for new years... however, I left them in the freezer when I left for our host's house!! worked out better in the long run... I was able to eat more for myself. I followed the original recipe making sure to get the flow down before opting for flavor exploration. when purchasing the bacon, do make sure that you have ample numbers of slices as I discovered that my pound of packaged bacon had only (15) slices, thus I had leftover bread and filling. I would definitely add more of the filling as the flavor was there, but muted by the cheese (not that that's always a bad thing!). it was amazingly easy to bake these up direct from the freezer; I did an extra 7 minutes from the original baking time to account for their frozen state and I think it worked out well. my only issue was the bacon pulling away from the roll in a way similar to the turkey bacon from the photos above. I'm not sure if it was because they were frozen, or what. I may just use toothpicks next time to be sure. regardless, they were a huge hit and are now at the top of my go-to list for quick, easy, and fabulous appetizers. thanks!
