Classic B.L.T. Cups

 

Yields 2 dozen cups

INGREDIENTS:

• 6 slices white bread

3. On a clean, dry flat surface place a single slice of white bread.  With a rolling pin flatten the bread as thin as possible.  Do this to all 6 slices of white bread.  Then with a sharp knife cut the crust off all the flattened slices.  Then take one slice of flattened crust-less bread and cut it in half and then the half in half again.  So, one piece should now be 4 smaller pieces.  Do that to all the bread to make 24 small squares.
4. Grease your mini muffin pan.  Place one square of white bread over the muffin tin and push it gently down into the pan to make the bread form a cup.  Do this to all the squares of bread.  Bake at 350 degrees for 8-12 minutes until golden brown.  Remove from oven and let cool in muffin pan.

Take cooled bread cup and add a small dollop of mayonnaise in the bottom of the cup.  Add crumbled bacon onto of the mayonnaise.  Then add romaine lettuce and finish with diced tomatoes.  Serve immediately.
