Step 1
1. Press the garlic using a garlic press. Finely chop the onion. Grate the cheese. Place the bacon slices on a baking sheet. Put the baking sheet into a cold oven, then heat the oven to 200 degrees and cook the bacon for 15 minutes on each side until done. Let the bacon cool, chop the bacon slices into small pieces, and drain the fat from the baking sheet into a bowl.
