                                We’ve all had B.L.T.s before, but these are a unique twist. Gourmet B.L.T.s is what I would call them.

                                    18

                                      Brie and bacon are not good enough alone. Barbecue sauce adds a little bit of magic. Maybe you’ve had pizzas similar to this at gourmet pizzerias. Now,  you can make it at home.

                                          I don’t know about you, but I get sick of regular egg rolls. These seem like a better alternative to me.

                                                  25. Oh Baby! Roasted Asparagus, Bacon & Cheese Tart

                                                  25

                                                    Asparagus and bacon just belong together. I better you could add brie to this and it would be even better. There is something special about their relationship.

                                                      27. Bacon-Jalapeno Cheese Ball

                                                      27

                                                        No appetizer table should be without this giant bacon-jalapeno cheese ball! You might want to make a double recipe.

                                                        28

                                                          You might need to add more bacon and less corn… but it looks great!

                                                          29

                                                            Even breakfast bars should have a little bit of bacon in them. I would probably swap out some of the butter in the recipe for bacon fat instead.

                                                            30

                                                              This one is for brave souls. I really think the bacon might be soggy and that would be gross. Someone needs to try this and let me know if it’s good or not!

                                                                These are perfect any time or year! I would top them with sauerkraut and pair with a beer for Oktoberfest.

                                                                  Recipe Source
