20 minutes

Broccoli wrapped in bacon is a harmonious blend of freshness and rich flavor. Tender green florets, lightly steamed, retain their juiciness, while bacon baked to a slight crisp adds an appetizing meaty note. The melting brie cheese adds a creamy texture and exquisite nutty aroma to the dish. This simple yet elegant treat is often served as an appetizer in European cuisine, as it pairs wonderfully with wine and fresh salads. Perfect for a cozy evening or celebration when you want something special yet easy to prepare.
