- 6 strips bacon
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Butterfly the fillets and pound flat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Finely dice the pepper, tomato, and parsley and stir into the cream cheese.

- Brush with sour cream and wrap each roll in a bacon strip.
- Bake at 180 C (350 F) for 20 minutes on conventional heat, then 5 minutes with convection.
