👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the bacon

1. Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.

2. Line a baking tray with parchment and place bacon pieces evenly.

3. Bake 18–22 minutes until crispy but not burnt — they will cook more later.

2️⃣ Make the melted crack base

1. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt:

   • butter + cream cheese (optional)

2. Stir constantly until smooth and silky.

3️⃣ Layer the crack

1. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top of the cooked bacon.

2. Pour the butter mixture slowly over the cheese & bacon so every piece gets coated.

4️⃣ Final bake

• Return to oven 8–12 minutes until the cheese melts, bubbles, and edges turn golden caramel-like.

• Remove and cool 10–15 minutes — this is when it hardens and becomes “crack.”

5️⃣ Break & Serve

• Break into chunks with your hands or knife.

• Eat warm for chewy texture or cold for crunchy brittle style.
