BACON-CHEESE PIZZA BOMBS



Bacon-Cheese Pizza Bombs image

Provided by Eddie Jackson

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h30m

Yield 16 pizza bombs

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, plus more for sprinkling
3 cloves garlic, grated
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt
4 slices thick-cut bacon
All-purpose flour, for dusting
2 pounds pizza dough, divided into sixteen 2-inch balls
4 teaspoons tomato paste
16 fresh basil leaves
12 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
Warm marinara sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Place a pizza stone on the middle oven rack and preheat to 500 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place it on top of the pizza stone.
  • Warm the olive oil in a small skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the rosemary, thyme, red pepper flakes and garlic. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Stir in the parsley and season with salt. Set aside.
  • Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel¿lined plate, then crumble.
  • Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Flatten each piece of dough and shape into a 3 1/2-inch round. Spread 1/4 teaspoon tomato paste in the center of each round, leaving a small border around the edge. Tear the basil into pieces; add to the center of each round, along with about 1 teaspoon crumbled bacon each. Top each with a few cubes of mozzarella. Season with salt and red pepper flakes. Very lightly brush the edge of the dough with water. Bring the edge of the dough toward the center, lightly pleating to form a tight enclosure; pinch to seal. Place seam-side down on a sheet of parchment paper. Using a metal skewer dipped in flour, make a hole in the center of each dough ball to create a steam vent.
  • Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven, then carefully place all the dough balls on it, spacing them 2 inches apart. Brush them liberally with the herb oil. Transfer the baking sheet to the pizza stone and bake 5 minutes. Rotate the pan and bake until the dough is golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with more herb oil. Serve immediately with marinara sauce and the remaining herb oil for dipping.

BACON CREAM CHEESE BOMBS RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Bacon Cream Cheese Bombs Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-2710

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 can of refrigerated biscuits
8 oz cream cheese softened
8 oz bacon cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup of chopped green onion
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 tsp garlic salt

Steps:

  • 1) In a medium sized mixing bowl, mix together cream cheese, bacon, green onions, garlic salt, and parmesan cheese, mix well. 2) Open can of biscuit dough and separate out each biscuit. Roll each biscuit out flat. 3) Take a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture and place it into the center of the biscuit dough. 4) Take edges of the biscuit dough and fold over until cheese is covered. Pinch edges to seal. 5) Place on a greased baking sheet and repeat until all the biscuit dough is filled. Sprinkled grated cheddar cheese on each biscuit before placing in the oven. 6)Bake at 350 degrees for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the final product will be. Use real bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, and high-quality pasta.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: The pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy when it's baked.
  • Use a generous amount of cheese: The cheese is what makes mac and cheese so delicious, so don't be afraid to use a lot of it. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 pound of cheese for every pound of pasta.
  • Season the mac and cheese well: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for mac and cheese, but you can also add other spices to taste. Some popular additions include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Let the mac and cheese cool slightly before assembling the bombs: This will help to prevent the cheese from oozing out when you're rolling them.
  • Use a light hand when breading the bombs: You don't want the breading to be too thick, or it will overwhelm the mac and cheese. Just a light coating is all you need.
  • Fry the bombs in hot oil: This will help to create a crispy outer coating. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the bombs will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the bombs immediately: They're best when they're hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Bacon mac and cheese bombs are a delicious and fun appetizer or snack. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like your mac and cheese mild or spicy, creamy or cheesy, there's a recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a tasty treat, give bacon mac and cheese bombs a try.
