🔥 Pro Tips
- Crispier bacon: Use thin-sliced bacon and a wire rack so air circulates.
- Make ahead: Assemble and refrigerate for a few hours; bake just before serving.
- Extra flavor: Brush with maple syrup or honey in the last 5 minutes for a sweet & salty twist.
- Party hack: Mini tater tots or cocktail-size bacon bites make perfect finger food.
I can also give an air fryer version that’s even crispier and faster if you want.
