Ingredients

For Million Dollar Bacon

  • 12 pieces of hickory smoked bacon
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • Black pepper to taste

For Spinach Dip

  • 1 package of frozen spinach thawed and drained of excess liquid
  • 1 cup of whipped cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp garlic paste
  • 1/2 cup mozarella cheese

To build crostini

  • 20 pieces of crostini toast already packaged (or 1 french loaf, cut into individual portions)

Instructions

Prepare the Million Dollar Bacon:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lay 12 pieces of hickory-smoked bacon flat on the prepared sheet. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of brown sugar evenly over each strip of bacon and add freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is caramelized and crispy. Keep a close eye during the last few minutes to avoid burning.
  • Once done, transfer the bacon to a cooling rack and let it cool completely. Once cooled, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

2. Make the Spinach Dip:

  • In a medium bowl, add the thawed and drained package of frozen spinach.
  • Add 1 cup of whipped cream cheese, 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella, and 1 tablespoon of garlic paste.
  • Mix everything together until well combined and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.

3. Assemble the Crostini:

  • If using a French loaf, slice it into 1/2-inch thick pieces and toast until lightly golden and crunchy. If using pre-packaged crostini, skip this step.
  • Spread a generous layer of the prepared spinach dip onto each piece of crostini.

4. Add the Million Dollar Bacon:

  • Sprinkle the chopped million dollar bacon evenly over the top of each spinach dip crostini.

5. Bake the Crostini:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  • Arrange the assembled crostini on a large baking sheet.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, or until the crostini are heated through and the dip is slightly bubbly.

6. Serve & Enjoy:

  • Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm and toasty. These crostini are perfect for any party, gathering, or just when you’re in the mood for a delicious treat!
