Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato Cups

Bacon strips are wrapped around a slice of bread to create a cup that is then baked, cooled and filled with lettuce and tomato. A quick drizzle of your favorite mayo (I spiked mine with Sriracha), and you've got a perfect party snack, appetizer or side dish.

This recipe is super easy (and fast!) but here are a few tips to ensure success:

  • Use regular bacon, not thick-cut. The thicker strips will take up too much room in the muffin cups, and not hold their shape as well.
  • Be sure to par-cook the bacon, to render some of the fat and make the strips a little easier to work with.
  • I used parchment paper liners in my muffin tin, as they are non-stick. If you choose not to use liners, be sure to grease the wells of the tin generously.
