Toasted Finger Rolls
Crispy bacon-wrapped bread rolls filled with mushroom soup are a savory appetizer or snack, perfect for gatherings or casual entertaining.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Remove the crust from the bread slices and spread each with undiluted mushroom soup, using a light coat.
- Roll each slice from corner to corner and wrap a piece of bacon (about half a slice) around each roll, securing with a toothpick.
- Place the prepared rolls on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 325°F (160°C) until golden brown, about 35 minutes.
- Serve warm with soup or salad, or use as an appetizer. Rolls can be frozen for later use.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use a crusty French bread that holds its shape when rolled. You can substitute the bacon with prosciutto for a different flavor or try turkey bacon for a lighter option. If you want extra flavor, add some grated cheese inside the roll before wrapping with bacon. Be careful not to overfill with mushroom soup to prevent sogginess.
Serving Suggestions
These toasted finger rolls are perfect as an appetizer or snack. Serve them warm alongside a bowl of soup or a fresh salad. They pair beautifully with Uncle Chip's World Famous Chili for a hearty meal. For a complete spread, consider adding a cheese platter or some fresh vegetables to balance the richness of the rolls.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven at 325°F (160°C) until heated through and crispy, about 15-20 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of soup instead of mushroom soup?
Yes! While mushroom soup is traditional, you can experiment with cream of chicken or broccoli soup for a different taste. Just ensure the soup is undiluted to maintain the right consistency for spreading on the bread.
How can I make these rolls vegetarian?
To make a vegetarian version, simply omit the bacon and consider adding sautéed vegetables or a slice of cheese inside the roll. You can also use a plant-based bacon substitute for a similar flavor without meat.
What is the best way to ensure the rolls stay together while baking?
To keep the rolls secure, make sure to wrap the bacon tightly around each roll and use toothpicks to hold them in place. This will help them maintain their shape during baking and prevent any filling from leaking out.
