Recipe Tips
- Make Ahead
These tasty cracker snacks can be prepared ahead of time. Cool, then store in tightly covered container in refrigerator up to 3 days. If desired, crisp snacks up in 350°F oven for a few minutes before topping with remaining ingredients as directed. Or, omit the toppings and use the bacon-wrapped crackers as a substitute for croutons in your favorite tossed green salad.
- Substitute
Substitute 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes for the plum tomatoes.
- Variation
Prepare recipe as directed, using fully cooked bacon slices and reducing the oven baking time to 5 to 7 min. or until bacon is crisp and heated through. Top with remaining ingredients as directed.
