The perfect alternative to a sandwich, not only are BLT Bites visually appealing, but they're also incredibly easy to make.
– ¼ small red onion – 1 tbsp vinegar – Kosher salt to taste – Black pepper to taste – 8 oz bacon – 12 oz cherry tomatoes – 1 tbsp olive oil – 1 small lettuce ( it works best if it’s Little Gem Lettuce) – Blue cheese for topping
Place the onion on the chopping board and chop it into small pieces. In a small bowl mix together vinegar, salt, pepper and onion. Let it sit for a while and toss occasionally.
Put a rack on a baking sheet and layer the bacon. Cook in the oven for 30 minutes at 300°F (150°C) or until golden and crispy. Be careful towards the end, it burns very easily. Meanwhile cut the tomatoes into halves, add them in the onion mixture together with the olive oil. Stir everything with a spoon. Take a lettuce leaf and fill it with the mixture. Repeat the same procedure for all the lettuce leaves.
Once the bacon is cooled down, dice it. Sprinkle the cooked bacon over the lettuce. Top with crumbled blue cheese.
Such a simple way to make a quick and tasty main course for a picnic or party!
