1 pound bacon, thinly sliced, room temperature

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1. Cut the cheddar cheese block into 6 equally-
sized portions, approximately 1-inch x 1žinch
each.Take two pieces of bacon and wrap
them around each piece of cheddar, fully
enclosing the cheese.Trim any excess fat. Place
the cheddar bacon bites in the freezer for 5
minutes to firm. Do not

and breadcrumbs and stir until the mixture
becomes loose and crumbly. Place each
cheddar block into the flour,
then the eggs and then the breadcrumbs. Press coating to
croquettes to ensure it adheres. Place the
croquettes in the cooking basket and cook for
7-8 minutes or until golden brown.

does not run out, double
coat them by dipping them a second time into the
egg and then into the bread crumbs.
