BLT CUPS
These appetizers are easy to make and very addictive. I have converted tomato-haters to lovers of these BLT cups. I love that they can be made ahead of time and then a quick spoonful in a cup to serve. You can never make too many - they will fly in a second. The BLT mix can be made in advance and kept refrigerated. Remove from fridge 1/2 hour before serving. You can use butter instead of olive oil, if desired.

Steps:
- In 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook bacon 5 to 7 minutes until crisp; drain on paper towels.
- With serrated knife, cut each tomato in half crosswise. Using teaspoon, scoop out seeds and pulp from each tomato half, leaving enough tomato for a firm shell. If necessary, cut small slice from bottom so tomato half stands upright.
- In medium bowl, combine lettuce and ranch dressing. Using small tongs or fingers, fill tomato shells evenly with lettuce mixture. Sprinkle with bacon and croutons. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. - If you don't have cherry tomatoes, you can use regular tomatoes, just cut them into small pieces. - You can use any type of bacon you like, but thick-cut bacon is recommended for the best results. - Cook the bacon until it is crispy, but not burnt. - Use a good quality mayonnaise, as it will make a big difference in the flavor of the BLT cups. - If you don't have a mini muffin tin, you can use a regular muffin tin and just fill the cups halfway. - Bake the BLT cups until the cheese is melted and bubbly. - Serve the BLT cups warm or at room temperature.Conclusion:
BLT cups are a quick and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover bacon and tomatoes. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and satisfying snack or party food. So next time you are looking for a tasty and easy appetizer, give BLT cups a try. They are sure to be a hit!
