These are good as written. My daughter really liked them as written. However, I do agree with a few others that it could use a bit more depth or flavor. Plus the taste is just a tad too mayo foreward. So next time I will try:<\/p>
<\/p>
Replacing \" some\" mayo with a little sour cream<\/p>
Worcestershire up to 1.5T -2T<\/p>
Just a smidge Garlic Powder<\/p>
And MAYBE 1 STIP OR 2 more bacon??<\/p>
But overall this recipe is definately a keeper. Like any other recipe try it first as wrritten.. Then season to taste <\/p>

I have made these for years after first seeing it in your magazine! This is one of my family's favorite snack to eat at New Year's time when we have tons of appetizers and salads on the table for non-stop eating! I make these days ahead of time and freeze them on a cookie tray, then transfer them into gallon ziploc bags, they freeze and keep for a long time! Then I just put them frozen onto a cookie sheet and into the hot oven, from frozen to fresh in minutes! So easy and yummy!<\/p>","CommentId":2,"DateRated":"12\/28\/2017 11:00","GUID":"7fb790d733a74803b359a477f621ca22","MemberId":8847870,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"BeFrog","SubmittedDate":"12\/28\/2017 11:00"},{"Comment":"
I have a friend that always seeks new app recipes for the holiday parties he always attends and looks so forward to. his deal is loving show stopper appetizers. you know the kind that have a real wow factor. I'll make this today. my baguette is being made right now, no need to go to market as making it myself. warning msg now: I will make one batch as written here and a second with some change-out ingredients. reason: want more color and richer flavor (for more 'wow' appeal) than I think this orig recipe delivers but only will know if I make both. my subs\/additions will be garlic olive oil soaked sun-dried tomatoes (I make my own) pepitas-shallots-mascarpone-less mayo-jack\/mozzo\/sharo cheddar-I'll cook the bacon so I can use a titch of it's renderings&a bit of my yards' rosemary with a grind of my yards' lavender purple flowers on top only for color not for flavor. plan on neighbors coming over for cocktails and apps in the afternoon. so glad I found this and if my version works too, I'll pass them both off to my co worker buddy.<\/p>","CommentId":3,"DateRated":"","GUID":"6a546b406aad4dd69f70814662a7a417","MemberId":7749892,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"Psalm1273B","SubmittedDate":"05\/20\/2017 11:13"},{"Comment":"

Made these New Year's Eve, and followed the advice of a previous review and used Hormel Bacon Bits... I did not brown the bread first, just put the mixture on the slice bread, and that worked very well. I used a mix of Colby, Monterey Jack and Swiss Cheese, and used 1\/2 cup mayo and 1\/2 cup sour cream, and included a few drops of almond flavoring. Perfecto!<\/p>

These are great right out of the oven. I have made them twice as written, but might reduce the mayo in the future. I can definitely detect the mayo flavor and would prefer a cheesier taste. Can easily swap out the cheese, maybe try a light Swiss or a blend of Monterey Jack and Swiss?

DELICIOUS!! I made these on Christmas Eve- they were a huge hit- very flavorful. I toasted the bread with olive oil first and then added the mixture which I had made earlier- couldn't be easier and so good!!!<\/p>","CommentId":48,"DateRated":"12\/27\/2010 07:53","GUID":"2eb0dacac9044da2a1362c89e6d9fd82","MemberId":4481064,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"pallen0703","SubmittedDate":"12\/27\/2010 07:53"},{"Comment":"

I made these as the appetizer for my dad's Father's Day dinner. They were a huge hit! Even my son who doesn't like any kind of nuts ate them. I will most certainly be making these again. (I had some of the mixture leftover, and we ate it as a dip with crackers. Fantastic!)<\/p>","CommentId":50,"DateRated":"08\/26\/2010 19:34","GUID":"38081F192647732C1DFCEE116B99C385","MemberId":76556,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"mommycoffey","SubmittedDate":"08\/26\/2010 19:34"},{"Comment":"

Made these for a family appetizer cook-off and they came in first place! I lightly brushed the bread with olive oil and popped them in a 400* oven to lightly toast. I made the topping ahead and placed it on just before placing back in the oven to melt. Absolutely a hit!<\/p>","CommentId":52,"DateRated":"08\/01\/2010 08:02","GUID":"d7c9fd71caf14ad0bf6ac2b77bd1bbaf","MemberId":1009021,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"MJODMA","SubmittedDate":"08\/01\/2010 08:02"},{"Comment":"
You can also substitute the sliced almonds with sliced green olives and they are delicious!<\/p>","CommentId":53,"DateRated":"","GUID":"EA34BF32452C44EAA036332F2E2C6F6E","MemberId":1529113,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"nsherman","SubmittedDate":"01\/13\/2010 14:58"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":54,"DateRated":"01\/13\/2010 14:58","GUID":"70F8FB29B13C4E3C8EE3E54FC5AA41C3","MemberId":2514244,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Nancy","SubmittedDate":"01\/13\/2010 14:58"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":55,"DateRated":"01\/13\/2010 12:20","GUID":"f955bbca86dd4b2bbd4ba3982de6d4a1","MemberId":4291899,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"mcainmalloy","SubmittedDate":"01\/13\/2010 12:20"},{"Comment":"

So yummy! Try placing olive oil in a frying pan and instead of toasting the baguette slices in the oven first, place each of the slices in the hot oil for a few minutes, (be sure to flip and saute both side!) then continue on with the recipe as directed.<\/p>","CommentId":58,"DateRated":"01\/01\/2010 10:58","GUID":"e653895782994bc19b34591a04708021","MemberId":3381826,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Lucajb","SubmittedDate":"01\/01\/2010 10:58"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":59,"DateRated":"12\/19\/2009 12:00","GUID":"0993cc95bc1443f8a91aa41d3a864003","MemberId":4708773,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"jojboyer1","SubmittedDate":"12\/19\/2009 12:00"},{"Comment":"
Excellant appetizer. I mixed the ingredients and refrigerated it and put it on the french bread several hours later when I needed them. It was great. My guests loved it.<\/p>","CommentId":60,"DateRated":"11\/18\/2009 15:42","GUID":"362a0a1e16a94528935e4d25a66a02bb","MemberId":2797544,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"frogfoot5","SubmittedDate":"11\/18\/2009 15:42"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":61,"DateRated":"11\/16\/2009 20:18","GUID":"57c5838f1bae45559cfcf652ec3cd777","MemberId":1011844,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"nerakj","SubmittedDate":"11\/16\/2009 20:18"}]},"breadcrumb":[],"meta_data":{"enhanced_fields":{"enhanced_recipe_title":"Almond-Bacon Cheese Crostini"}},"analytics":[],"yoast_head":"\n
