Bacon Wrapped Egg with Cheese

Honestly, doesn’t everything taste much better when it’s wrapped in bacon?  I’ve tried some variations of this recipe, and the key to creating this little piece of heaven is the bacon.  Now, don’t go to your local grocery store and pick up any of that prepackaged bacon because that will not do this recipe justice.  Go to your local meat market or a place that is able to slice your bacon fresh.  Make sure to get the apple wood smoked bacon as this just adds so much more flavor of this recipe.  If you have the opportunity to get the bacon thick cut, do so!  It creates a crust around the egg, and just makes this recipe delicious.  This soon will become a staple in your household, as it has in mine.
