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":"
Such a tasty and easy appetizer to make. I have changed the cheese flavor or mixed cheeses and they are still gobbled up! I did cut back on the mayo just a little.

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>
How to toast almond slices: place sliced almonds in a single layer on a cookie sheet, bake @350 tor about 8 to 10 minutes until the desired color, allow to cool completely before using.<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"","GUID":"650D2DD65C75425E917EE28ABA815009","MemberId":446601,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"Beema","SubmittedDate":"01\/01\/2017 15:38"},{"Comment":"
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?

Love this recipe!!! Found it while going through my grandmother's Taste Recipes magazine a few years ago. It's a huge hit at holiday parties...you must make a lot because they go quickly!!

Oh my ... these look so good! But then, anything with bacon ... or cheese make my mouth water. I will be giving these a try soon!<\/p>","CommentId":57,"DateRated":"","GUID":"0ED7DE855EB247B2B86CBBDD04642AF6","MemberId":573585,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"hauke","SubmittedDate":"01\/01\/2010 11:23"},{"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
