There's nothing more fun than creating festive snacks and canapés to enjoy with your xmas drinks. My latest (and one of the tastiest) offering is my delicious 15minutes festive bruschetta, ready in 4 easy steps, made by toasting some sliced fresh baguette and topping with cranberry, brie and crispy bacon, I find Denhay smoked bacon works best as their expert bacon curers are dedicated to producing the best quality bacon.
To make 8
Cooking time 15mins
1tbsp olive oil
6 slices Denhay bacon, smoked or unsmoked
2 rosemary sprigs, plus extra for decor

3. Dice your crispy bacon in to pieces.
4. Assemble your festive bruschetta but firstly spreading on some cranberry sauce, then add some brie and then sprinkle with your deliciously crispy Denhay bacon, garnish with a little fresh rosemary (remove before eating)
