BLT BITES

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 stuffed tomatoes

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces bacon, chopped
3 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Pinch kosher salt
1/2 heart of romaine lettuce, shredded
6 to 8 cocktail or Campari tomatoes

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a small skillet; heat over medium heat until beginning to sizzle. Reduce the heat to medium low; cook until crisp and golden brown, about 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the fat in the pan.
  • Add the breadcrumbs to the hot bacon fat; cook, stirring often, until lightly toasted and crunchy, about 3 minutes. Remove the breadcrumbs to a separate paper towel-lined plate, spread evenly, and then sprinkle with the Parmesan to melt slightly.
  • With a rubber spatula, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice and salt in a bowl. Add the shredded romaine; toss well to coat.
  • Cut a small amount off the bottom of each tomato to create a flat surface to sit on. Then cut off the tops as well. Run a small knife around the inside of the tomatoes to loosen the flesh. Using a 1/2-teaspoon measuring spoon, scoop out and discard the insides of each tomato.
  • Divide the bacon among the tomatoes, pushing it down slightly. Top with some of the romaine, followed by the bacon-parmesan breadcrumbs. Serve at room temperature.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 head romaine lettuce, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
1/2 cup chopped red onion
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
4 slices white bread
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon black peppercorns, crushed in a bag with a mallet
6 strips center-cut bacon
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup
4 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the lettuce, onion and tomatoes in a large bowl; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, cut the bread into crouton-size cubes. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bread cubes and toast, tossing, until golden, about 6 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Make the bacon: Mix the brown sugar, paprika, lemon zest and crushed pepper in a small bowl. Add the bacon and press to coat on both sides. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; place the thyme sprigs on the parchment paper, then lay a strip of bacon on top of each sprig. Bake until the bacon is caramelized and crisp, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet. Cut the bacon into bite-size bits using scissors; add to the bowl with the lettuce. Discard the thyme.
  • Make the dressing: Whisk the mayonnaise, syrup, mustard and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Add the dressing to the salad and toss. (This is enough dressing for the whole salad, but you can use less if you want a less wet salad.) Sprinkle the croutons on top and eat.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will ensure that your salad is packed with flavor. If you can, use heirloom tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise. This will also make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil, and avoid brands that contain a lot of sugar or additives.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of bread. You can use white bread, whole wheat bread, or even sourdough bread. You can also use a baguette or a croissant for a more decadent salad.
  • Add your favorite toppings. You can add anything you like to your BLT salad bites, such as avocado, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, or cheese. Get creative and make them your own!
  • Serve immediately. BLT salad bites are best served immediately after they are made. This will prevent the bread from getting soggy and the lettuce from wilting.

Conclusion:

BLT salad bites are a quick, easy, and delicious appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or picnics. They are also a great way to use up leftover bacon and lettuce. So next time you are looking for a tasty and satisfying snack, give BLT salad bites a try!
