Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Strawberries

bacon brings it once again

You could never imagine how very yummy this bacon-strawberry combination is. Sweet, salty, and smokin’ hot off the grill – all in one bite! Serve as-is with an appetizer spread or as an unexpected garnish to our ManMosa.

cooking information

• Yield: Appetizers for 10-15
• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 5 minutes

all ingredients

• 1 lb Bacon
• 1-2 Cartons Fresh Strawberries (approximately 20-30 strawberries)
• Toothpicks

recipe instruction

1. Wash and prep your strawberries. Cut off the top of each strawberry.
2. Cut each slice of bacon into 3 pieces. (To make it easier, stack the bacon and slice. Or, keep it in the packaging and cut through all of it, still wrapped, with shears.)
3. Take one slice of bacon and wrap it around the width of one strawberry. Hold into place with a toothpick.
4. Preheat your grill to high heat. Once your grill is hot, add your strawberries.
5. The strawberries will only take a minute per side so don’t leave the grill. The toothpicks may catch on fire but it is okay.
6. When the strawberries are cooked on both sides and the bacon is cooked, remove from the grill and serve while hot.
7. Enjoy!

cooking tips

• If you are nervous about the grill you can always do it in a pan on top of your stove. Either with a cast iron skillet or hot saute pan, sear all sides of the bacon until crispy and then serve.
• If you want to make the least amount of mess and the most number of pieces at one time you can also cook these under the broiler in your oven. Place the bacon-wrapped strawberries on a cake resting rack over a cookie sheet. Place under the broiler until the bacon gets crispy. Once the first side is finished, remove from the oven and flip. Crisp on the second side and then remove from the oven. Serve and enjoy!
• Half of the toothpicks burnt when we grilled them. Before we served the bacon-wrapped strawberries with our ManMosas we skewered the fruit with fresh toothpicks so they were easier to handle.
