Step 1: Roll the bacon and cheese: Take a slice of bacon and place a piece of cheese on top. Tightly roll the bacon, ensuring that the cheese and onion are wrapped inside.

Step 3: Coat with olive oil: Dip each bacon roll in olive oil or brush a thin layer of olive oil on top. This helps the bacon become crispier when baked and adds more flavor.
Step 4: Bake the bacon cheese rolls: Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and place the tray inside. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese has melted.

Use parchment paper or plastic wrap to wrap each portion of bacon. This helps prevent direct exposure to air and prevents the bacon from drying out or absorbing odors from other foods in the freezer. As soon as you buy it, if you don’t use all the bacon, divide it into smaller portions and place them in separate bags or airtight containers, then store them in the refrigerator or freezer.
Note:
Vacuum sealing is an effective way to store food, helping to maintain optimal flavor and extend shelf life. Packaging bacon in vacuum-sealed bags is a common technique used by supermarkets and processing facilities. This method not only keeps the bacon fresh longer but also saves storage space in the freezer.
For cooked bacon that isn't fully used, place it in an airtight container, seal the lid, and store it in the freezer. This way, the bacon will last for about one week.
