Bacon and Cheese Fat Bombs

Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon
• 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
• ¼ cup butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese
• ½ lime, zested and squeezed
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3 serrano peppers, seeded and finely chopped
• 4 sprigs cilantro, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place bacon strips onto the foil in a single layer.

2. Bake in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, about 15 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.

3. While the bacon is cooking, mix cream cheese, butter, and Cheddar cheese together in a bowl. Add lime zest, lime juice, and garlic. Fold in serrano pepper and refrigerate until chilled and stiff, about 10 minutes.

4. Divide chilled cream cheese mixture into 6 equal parts and roll into balls.

5. Chop bacon and mix with cilantro in a bowl. Roll one fat bomb at a time in the bowl until well coated. Serve cold.
