2. In a shallow plate, transfer the remaining 1 cup of crumbled bacon, then using a cookie scoop, scoop out one ball of cheese filling and toss it into the bacon crumbles. Continue until all cheese balls have been rolled in the bacon coating.

    I figured once the crumbled bacon sat on the outside of the cheese ball it will soften so I cooked the bacon for the outside very crisp and then chopped it extremely fine. I suggest making a very small cheese ball as this is rich and really is better as a one-bite appetizer paired with sliced bagette or similar. I increased the mayo to make the consistency slightly creamier. Was well received by guests, but it is rich so don’t plan on too many per person.

    They are super rich. I made mine into 2-21/2 inch balls. Made about 34. They are very good. Serving them for Christmas..

    With all those tasty ingredients it can't help but be yummy. BUT I used a smoked bacon that was very salty and overwhelmed everything else. So I made it again, only using the half cup of bacon mixed in the other ingredients, and served it as a cheese spread. Delicious!!! Maybe a milder bacon would make a difference but I actually prefer the not-as-handled and less salty spread version. No matter what I'm so glad I stumbled on the recipe, thank you!
