You can find the crunchy breadsticks in the snack aisle of your market. The most common brand is Alessi. You should have an extra piece or two of bacon.

1 (16-ounce) package bacon

1 ( 4.4-ounce) box sesame seed breadsticks

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Wrap bacon in a spiral around breadsticks. Place on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked through. Reverse the sheet halfway through for even cooking.

Place cheese on a plate. When breadsticks are done, remove from baking sheet, and dredge in Parmesan while hot. Set aside on a clean baking sheet or cooling rack, and allow to cool and crisp before serving.
