Bacon Olive Wraps Recipes

Steps:

• Cut bacon in quarters. Wrap each piece around 1 olive; secure with a toothpick.
• Place on microwave dish and cover with paper towel.
• Cook covered on high 5 to 6 minutes, or until bacon is crisp and lightly brown. Serve hot.

Steps:

• With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• On a cutting board, cut each bacon slice crosswise into 3 equal pieces. Roll an olive in each bacon piece, securing with a toothpick. Place on the baking sheet. Bake until the bacon is nicely browned and crisp 30 to 35 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve in a large bowl.
• NOTE : Taste the olives the day before making the recipe. If they are too salty, soak them in cold water for up to 24 hours.

Steps:

• Skin 2 chicken breasts, then cut a pocket in each side and stuff each with 25g/1oz soft goat's cheese.
• Wrap each breast in 2 rashers rindless streaky bacon, tucking in a few fresh sage leaves, then put the breasts in a baking dish and season. Spoon over 1 tbsp olive oil.
• Roast the chicken breasts in a baking dish, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes in a preheated oven (190C/gas 5/fan oven 170C). To check if they are done, insert a sharp knife into the centre of a parcel and leave it for a few seconds, if the chicken is cooked the tip should feel very hot when you pull it out and touch it. The chicken should also feel very firm when pressed with the back of a fork.
• Serve with a gratin of potatoes and leeks.

• Cut bread into thirds. Spread each third with processed cheese sauce. Sprinkle with olives. Roll thirds jelly-roll fashion. Wrap each with half a strip of bacon, securing with toothpicks. Arrange wrapped bread rolls in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
• Broil, checking frequently, until bacon is evenly browned and has reached desired crispness, about 5 minutes.
