Savory Bacon & Sun-Dried Tomato Bites

1. Prepare Bacon

Cook 8 slices of bacon until they are perfectly crispy, then set them aside on paper towels to drain any excess grease.

2. Drain and Chop Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Drain the sun-dried tomatoes well if they are packed in oil, and chop them finely to ensure they mix well with the other ingredients.

3. Mix Ingredients

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped sun-dried tomatoes with 4 ounces of softened cream cheese. Add 1/4 cup of finely chopped fresh basil and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix everything together until you have a uniform, creamy mixture.

4. Crumble Bacon and Fold

Crumble the crispy bacon into small pieces and gently fold them into the cream cheese mixture.

5. Form Bites

Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Arrange these tasty morsels on a serving platter. You can serve them immediately or refrigerate them for a few minutes to firm them up if needed.
