Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound asparagus (trimmed)
  • 1/4 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
  • 4 slices of thin-cut bacon (cut in half)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F for optimal cooking.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, parmesan, and everything bagel seasoning thoroughly. Set aside.
  3. Gently toss the asparagus in the olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, then divide into 8 equal piles.
  4. Slowly stretch each slice of bacon to prevent shrinking and aid faster cooking.
  5. Place a heaping teaspoon of the cheese mixture and an asparagus bundle on a bacon slice, wrap loosely, and place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
  6. Cook the bundles for 20-25 minutes until asparagus is tender and bacon is crisp, adjusting time based on asparagus size and bacon overlap.

Notes

– For the crispiest bacon, ensure you stretch it thin before wrapping. I learned this the hard way when my first batch had overly chewy bacon!
– To store leftovers, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through and bacon is crisp again.
– Cook chicken or ground beef to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) if serving alongside. Ensure the bacon reaches a safe, crispy state.
