- turn the roll so you're facing the open seam; tuck into the open sides any cheese or pepper that may have fallen out; seal the sides by folding them upwards and over the roll; roll the bomb back so the open seam is now at the bottom.
- line and tent your roasting pan with foil to catch the juices and reduce fat splatter, insert the rack, then grab your bacon bomb and lay it gently on top, open seam down.
- roast for 45 minutes, then switch to 200°C Circo-Roast or grill boost for a few more minutes to crisp up the bacon.
- rest the bomb for a few minutes, slice and serve.
Notes
As an alternative to layering, you can place the filling in a diagonal line 1/3 of the way in from the corner you’ll be starting to roll from. Tuck the sides in once you've rolled over the filling and continue to roll, then proceed as per instructions.
