Bacon Wrapped Cheddar Cheese Curds with Mustard Dipping Sauce
Yields 2-3 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb. bacon
- 8 oz. Pineland Farms Cheddar Cheese Curds
- 1 pkg. toothpicks
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp. yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
- ¼ tsp. paprika
- ¼ tsp. granulated garlic
- ¼ tsp. black pepper, ground
- ¼ tsp. sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat fryer to 350ºF.
- Place Pineland Farms Cheddar Cheese Curd on a half slice of bacon. Wrap and blanket the cheese well. Place a tooth pick to keep bacon secure. Repeat with remaining bacon slices. Keep refrigerated until fryer is up to temp.
- Meanwhile in a small mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients to make the mustard sauce. Set aside for service.
- Fry the bacon curds for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close watch. The cheese curds should hold up if tucked inside the bacon.
- Note: You may want to chill/freeze the bacon wrapped curds for a few minutes before frying.
