**Title:** Bacon-Wrapped Spinach and Cheese Rolls
**Recipe:**
**Ingredients:**
- 12 slices of bacon
- 2 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze (optional for drizzling)
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Filling**: In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. **Mix the Cheese Filling**: In a bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and the cooked spinach. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
3. **Wrap the Rolls**: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take a slice of bacon and stretch it slightly to fit. Place a spoonful of the spinach and cheese mixture onto the edge of the bacon slice, then roll it up tightly to form a roll. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat this for all slices of bacon.
4. **Cook the Rolls**: Arrange the bacon-wrapped rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden-brown, and the filling is heated through.
5. **Add the Glaze**: Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze for an added layer of flavor and glossy finish.
6. **Serve**: Serve the bacon-wrapped spinach rolls warm as an appetizer or side dish, and enjoy the rich flavors of crispy bacon and creamy spinach and cheese filling.
These bacon-wrapped spinach rolls are indulgent and bursting with flavor, making them the perfect savory treat to impress your guests or enjoy as a snack.
