Abalone Hors d'oeuvres

• 12 slices bacon
• 12 pieces Monterey jack, pepper jack, or fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into strips
• 12 (1-ounce) abalone steaks

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Place the bacon strips on a rimmed baking sheet.
3. Bake until bacon is about halfway cooked, about 5 to 10 minutes, making sure not to crisp the bacon.
4. Remove the bacon from the oven, drain on paper towels and cool.
5. Place a piece of cheese on top of each steak and roll the steak up around the cheese.
6. Wrap a piece of bacon around each steak, covering as much of the exposed steak as possible.
7. Cut off any excess bacon and secure the rolls with a toothpick.
8. Grill abalone rolls, turning once, until the bacon is browned and crisp and the cheese begins to melt out the ends, about 2 minutes.
