Bacon Cheese Swirls Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and fit a baking sheet with a wire rack.
• In a small saucepot, mix the maple syrup, red pepper flakes, orange juice and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
• Line up the bacon slices on the wire rack and brush with the hot maple syrup mixture. Sprinkle some cheese on each piece of bacon. With a skewer in hand, fold the end of a piece of bacon in half lengthwise and press the skewer through the end. Do this to 4 pieces of bacon, spreading them out evenly across the skewer, and place the skewer on the baking sheet. Twist the bacon pieces into long spirals so as to create straws. Take another skewer and skewer the bottom of each piece of bacon to keep the bacon twisted. Do this to all the bacon.
• Bake until the bacon browns, about 35 minutes. Let cool slightly on the rack; the bacon will get crunchy as it sits. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into 4 rectangles.
• 2. Press formations to seal. Mix together cream cheese, crumbled bacon, minced onions and milk (may need to add more milk so mixture will spread easily.)
• 3. Spread on rectangles. Roll up, jelly roll style, starting at long side. Press edges to seal. Cut each roll into 8 slices.
• 4. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle swirls evenly with Parmesan cheese.
• 5. Bake at 375 for 12 to 15 minutes, or until brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and allow to cool slightly, then finely chop. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
• Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured work surface. Lightly roll each piece of pastry into a 10-inch square. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of each piece of pastry, leaving a slight border around the edges. Sprinkle the Cheddar and bacon in an even layer over the top of the cream cheese mixture. Tightly roll each pastry sheet into a log (jelly roll style), then pinch the seam closed and place seam-side down on the work surface.
• Using a sharp knife, cut both logs crosswise into 12 pinwheels each, approximately 1 inch thick. Transfer 12 pinwheels to each prepared baking sheet, spiral-side up. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water until combined to make an egg wash. Brush the tops and sides of the pinwheels with the egg wash.
• Bake the pinwheels until puffed and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels and reserve 2 tablespoons drippings. Finely chop the bacon.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, chopped bacon and chives in a medium bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it is in pea-size pieces. Stir in the cheese with a wooden spoon. Add the buttermilk and reserved bacon drippings and gently mix until just moistened. The dough will be loose.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 3 to 5 times, just until it comes together. (Don't overknead or the biscuits will be tough.) Roll out to 1/2 inch thick, then cut out biscuits using a floured 2-inch-round cutter. Arrange on an ungreased baking sheet. Reroll the scraps and cut out more biscuits. Brush the tops with melted butter.
• Bake the biscuits until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and cool; crumble the bacon and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions in the butter until tender, about 10 minutes.
• Prepare a 10-inch non-stick skillet with cooking spray and place over a cold burner. Whisk together the eggs and water; pour the egg mixture into the cold skillet. Cover and turn the burner on for medium-low heat. Cook until steam begins to vent from the skillet. Remove the lid. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon, Cheddar cheese, American cheese, salt, and red pepper over the eggs. Spread the onions over the eggs. Gently swirl the skillet in a circular motion to release the omelet and slide it onto a plate. Fold the omelet in half. Allow the cheese to melt, about 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• If using crescent rolls: Unroll dough; separate into 4 rectangles. Firmly press perforations to seal. If using dough sheets: Unroll dough; cut into 4 rectangles.
• In small bowl, mix cream cheese, onion and milk; beat until well blended.
• Spread about 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture evenly over each rectangle.
• Sprinkle each with bacon.
• Roll up, starting at longest side; pinch edges to seal.
• Cut each roll into 8 slices.
• Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve warm. Store in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Combine cream cheese, onion and milk in a small mixing bowl.
• Beat well.
• Stir in bacon.
• Sparate dough into 4 rectangles, press perforations to seal.
• Divide cream cheese mixture into fourths and spread on each rectangle.
• Starting at long side, roll up rectangles and pinch edges to seal.
• Cut each roll into 8 pieces.
• Place pieces cut side down on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Sprinkle lightly with parmesan cheese.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve warm.
• Note: This recipe can be made earlier in the day and refrigerated.
• Two hours before baking, remove from refrigerator and let come to room temperature.
• You can also bake swirls wrapped in foil and freeze.
• To serve thaw in aluminum foil, Loosen wrap and reheat at 350 for 8 minutes.
