Our Tips

Chef's tips for making this recipe

For even crispier bites, make sure to wrap the bacon tightly around the sausages. Use toothpicks to keep everything in place and prevent the bacon from unrolling during baking.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these bites hot straight from the oven for maximum flavor. Pair them with a cold craft beer or a fizzy cocktail for a perfect match. Feel free to prepare them in advance and reheat them in the oven for a few minutes before serving. They also store well if, by some miracle, there are any left!
