1poundripe tomatoescored, seeded and finely chopped
2 to 3tablespoonsmayonnaise
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and lightly grease a mini-muffin pan.
Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin, and cut 4 rounds from each slice with a 2-inch cookie cutter.
Press the rounds into the mini-muffin pans to form shallow cups.
Bake until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
Combine the bacon, lettuce, and chopped tomato in a large bowl. Stir in mayonnaise, salt and pepper.
Fill each bread cup with a generous portion of the BLT mixture and serve immediately. Makes 24 mini BLT cups.
Notes
Storage: These little BLT cups are best eaten the day you make them. However, leftover appetizers can be covered with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 1 day. The toast shells will not be as crispy, but will still taste good.
