Cooking tips

If you want a crispier crust, increase the oven temperature for the last 5 minutes.

Serve the dish immediately after cooking, while the meat is hot.

Other types of meat can be used instead of bacon.

For variety, make several filling options: with mushrooms or with cheese.

This meat appetizer goes perfectly with mashed potatoes or vegetables.
