Bacon-bites

As one of the Estonian cookbooks says, this is suppose to be a traditional Estonian snack. And it is probably one of the few that you can make out of the ingredients you can find in Belgium. You will get twelve tasty snacks from the following:

12 slices smoked bacon

75 g grated cheese

75 g boiled and grated carrots

75 g mayonnaise

pepper, nutmeg

 

# Mix grated cheese and carrots with mayonnaise and season with pepper and nutmeg.

# Fry bacon slices for one-two minutes (they should stay soft, not crisp) and drain. Remove bacon rinds.

# Plce a teaspoon of filling onto the bacon slice and roll it into thick snack.

# Garnish with fresh coriander or parsley leave (I didn’t have any…).

These snacks can be served immediately, but you can also prepare them a day before - if covered, they’ll stay overnight in the fridge (but you need to make sure that you have drained bacon thoroughly). If you would like a bit milder snacks, substitute some of the mayonnaise with sour cream or creme fraiche.
