INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Cook bacon by placing on a rack over a shallow pan and bake at 350 degrees
for about 20 minutes, or until crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Combine all ingredients except bread in a bowl. Crumble bacon and add to
mixture; set aside.
Cut crusts from bread slices and toast on both sides. Spread each slice
generously with cheese mixture; then cut each slice into three long strips.
Sprinkle with paprika; place on baking sheet, cover with waxed paper and
refrigerate.  This may be done the day before. Remove from refrigerator 30
minutes before ready to bake; bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, or
until light brown and puffy.  Serve hot. Double the recipe for a cocktail
party of 20.
Note:  These strips are quite filling.  For a daintier appetizer, cut
strips in half before baking.  These are delicious nd versatile, providing
a good luncheon or brunch dish. They should be served with sliced tomatoes
and garnished with parsley clusters; in which case, serve two whole bread
slices per person, not cutting into strips. MM Wrenn
