How to prepare.
BLT Cups
Ingredients:
➤12 slices of bacon
➤1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
➤1/2 cup lettuce, shredded or chopped
➤1/4 cup mayonnaise
➤2 tablespoons sour cream
➤1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
➤1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
➤Salt and pepper to taste
➤Phyllo pastry cups or mini tart shells (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions:
1. Cook the Bacon:
➤Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
➤Place the bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
➤Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. Keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.
➤Remove the bacon from the oven, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, and then chop it into small pieces.
2. Prepare the BLT Filling:
➤In a bowl, combine the chopped bacon, halved cherry tomatoes, and shredded or chopped lettuce. Toss them together to make the BLT filling.
3. Make the BLT Sauce:
➤In another bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, chopped chives, salt, and pepper. This creamy sauce will add flavor to your BLT cups.
4. Assemble the BLT Cups:
➤If using store-bought phyllo pastry cups or mini tart shells, follow the package instructions for prepping and baking them. Typically, you just need to bake them in the oven for a few minutes until they're crispy and golden.
➤Once the cups are ready, fill each one with a spoonful of the BLT filling.
5. Drizzle with BLT Sauce:
➤Drizzle the creamy BLT sauce over the top of each BLT cup, adding a burst of flavor.
6. Serve:
➤Arrange the BLT cups on a serving platter, and they're ready to be served!
These BLT cups are a delightful combination of crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, fresh lettuce, and a creamy sauce, all packed into a convenient and bite-sized form. They make a great appetizer for parties or a tasty snack any time of the year. Enjoy!
