I like to entertain, and am known for my cooking among my friends. Just because I am now keto doesn't change this. I do make concession to the carbivores I invite by serving a side of garlic bread, or crackers to go with the cheese board, so it's never a big deal. This bacon wrapped delight was part of the cheese board I served at my birthday dinner. It only lasted about 10 seconds! I have no carb count for this one, but it should be pretty low.
INGREDIENTS
- a wheel of brie or camembert, 125g - 250 g
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 teaspoon dried onion or chive
- 3 sundried tomatoes, finely chopped
- 6-8 rashes of middle bacon, rind removed but leave the fat
- toothpicks
METHOD
Preheat oven to 180 C. Take a small knife and carefully cut a lid from the top of the cheese. I find about 2-3 mm down from the top is ideal. Lay the lid to one side and evenly spread the garlic, dried onion and sundried tomatoes onto the cut part of the cheese. Replace the lid then use the bacon to wrap the cheese neatly, securing with a toothpick as needed. Bake for 20-25 minutes, then cool for 5 minutes before serving, due to molten cheese. Use a sharp knife to cut into wedges at the table for maximum impact.
Serves: 4 greedy people or many as part of a cheese board
Net carb: Didn't work it out, but pretty low, but TBH I didn't care. It was delicious.
Variations for filling : diced olives, more bacon, chopped nuts, roasted capsicum, artichoke and spinach, maple flavoured sugar free syrup and chorizo, chilli flakes, cooked mushrooms
