For best results, use thick-cut bacon for a more substantial and flavorful wrap. If using thinner bacon, consider doubling the wrap for optimal crispiness. A drizzle of balsamic glaze after cooking adds a touch of sweetness and acidity that beautifully complements the dish. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings, such as garlic powder, red pepper flakes, or Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately as an appetizer or a side dish to grilled meats or fish.
