Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 30 servings

  • 10 strips bacon

  • 30 garlic-stuffed green olives

  • 30 toothpicks

Directions

  1. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

  2. Cut each bacon strip into 3 pieces. Wrap 1 piece of bacon around an olive and secure with a toothpick; place on a broiling pan. Continue with remaining bacon pieces and olives.

  3. Broil in the preheated oven until bacon is crisp, but not burned, 10 to 15 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Any Spanish olive works. Pitted or blue cheese-stuffed are just as tasty.
