Bite Size Bacon and Tomato Biscuit Cups with Basil


I went to a party recently where one of the guests brought some little biscuit cups similar to this. Well, they were delicious!

When I asked them what was in them, she said they had bacon, tomatoes, Swiss cheese and mayonnaise.

Well, of course, I came home set on recreating them!

I thought the only thing missing to make them like a BLT is some kind of green ... and what better to go with tomatoes than fresh out of the garden basil, which I happened to have plenty of. 

Now this appetizer would be pretty forgiving for adjusting in my opinion - more or less bacon, more of less mayonnaise, more or less basil, and whatever your favorite cheese.

Experiment!

Be sure to thoroughly clean the tomatoes so that you have only the ribs and the meat of the tomato left - you want the tomato dry before you chop it up so you won't carry a lot of water into the filling.

I didn't happen to have any Swiss cheese in the house when I decided to make these, so I used the remainder of a block of white American cheese that I needed to use up anyway.

I wanted to split my biscuits into three layers but the brand I had on hand wasn't being very agreeable and only wanted to easily give me two even layers. As it turned out the two layers worked out fine, but if I were making these up for a crowd I think I'd go for stretching it out by separating each biscuit into three layers to end up with 24 cups, and to have a thinner cup.

I'm thinking these would also be great with cooked and drained sausage, or some well drained ground beef seasoned with taco seasoning, and pepperoni too!

There's really a lot of room for variety with these, and I've included a few variations in the recipe text. I can tell you one thing ... okay two things.
  • They are easy.
  • And because they are made in mini muffin pans, they are a perfect finger food for parties, and for game time, which is what I made these for.
Serve them warm or at room temperature - either way they are yummy. Once cooled, they travel well and also reheat well too. Enjoy!
