1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons apple juice
24 slices (1/2 inch thick) baguette French bread
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (6 oz)

Steps:

  • In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon until crisp; drain on paper towels. Crumble bacon; set aside. Reserve drippings in skillet.
