Ingredients
- 12 slices of bacon
- 12 small mozzarella balls
- 1/2 cup of maple syrup
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- Toothpicks for securing bacon
Instructions
1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Next, it’s time to get the bacon ready. Simply cut each slice of bacon in half to create the perfect size for wrapping around the mozzarella balls.
3. Now, take each mozzarella ball and wrap it with a half slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick.
4. Arrange the bacon-wrapped mozzarella poppers on the prepared baking sheet and pop them in the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown.
5. While the poppers are baking, it’s time to whip up the irresistible sweet maple glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a delectable glaze.
6. Once the Crispy Bacon Mozzarella Poppers are fresh out of the oven, brush them generously with the sweet maple glaze. Serve them hot and enjoy the mouthwatering combination of crispy bacon, gooey mozzarella, and irresistible sweetness.
