Blt Pops Recipes

BLT

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Arrange the cooked bacon, lettuce, and tomato slices on one slice of bread. Spread one side of remaining bread slice with the mayonnaise. Bring the two pieces together to make a sandwich.

BLT PASTA SKILLET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
• Meanwhile, lay the bacon in a large ovenproof skillet and cook over medium heat until brown and slightly crispy, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove the skillet from the heat, transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Break up the bacon into bite-size pieces.
• Return the skillet to medium heat, add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and juices, reserved pasta water, crushed red pepper, basil, escarole and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens and the escarole wilts, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Mix together the ricotta and Parmesan. Add the cooked pasta and mozzarella to the sauce and stir to thoroughly coat. Drop spoonfuls of the ricotta-Parmesan mixture on top. Sprinkle with the bacon pieces and bake until bubbly and the cheese melts, 15 to 20 minutes. Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional basil if using.

BLT POPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
• Remove pie crusts from pouches; unroll on lightly floured work surface. Using 2-inch T-shirt or jersey-shaped (or desired shape) cookie cutter, cut 10 to 12 shapes from each crust.
• Place half of the cutouts on cookie sheet. Gently press lollipop sticks into dough, with top of stick almost to top of cutout. Top each with 2 tomato halves; sprinkle evenly with cheese, bacon and basil. Cover with remaining cutouts; press edges together with fork. Brush tops with egg; sprinkle with salt.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Serve warm.

CLASSIC BLT SANDWICH

Steps:

• Cook bacon until crispy, then drain on paper towels.
• Toast the 8 slices of bread.
• Spread 1 tablespoon mayo on each slice of toasted bread. (More or less, to taste).
• Add 1 slice of lettuce to 4 pieces of mayo-spreaded toast.
• Add 2 slices of tomato on top of lettuce.
• Arrange 3 slices of bacon evenly on top of tomato. (Break bacon slices in half to fit, if needed.).
• Add 1 slice of lettuce on top of bacon.
• Put the remaining 4 pieces of mayo-spreaded toast on top to finish the sandwiches.
• Enjoy!
• NOTE: I also like to butter the toast slices before adding the mayo -- higher in fat, but tastier, in my opinion!

POSH BLT

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. Put the bacon on a foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle with the maple syrup. Grill for 7-10 mins until crisp. Mix the mayo with the sundried tomato paste, then spread over two of the sourdough slices. Top with the bacon, sundried tomatoes and Little Gem. Season with black pepper, top with the remaining bread and halve.

POPOVERS BY BLT STEAK

Steps:

• Place cupcake pans in the oven. Heat the oven and pans to 350°F
• Heat the milk for 1 minute in the microwave or over low heat in a pan, then set aside. Whisk eggs until frothy and slowly whisk in milk (so as not to cook the eggs). Set the mixture aside.
• Sift the flour with the salt. Slowly add this dry mixture and gently combine until mostly smooth. Once combined, remove the cupcake pans from the oven and spray with non-stick vegetable spray.
• While the batter is still slightly warm or room temperature (definitely not cool), fill each cupcake cup 3/4 full. Top each cup with about 1 tablespoon of grated gruyere.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, rotating pans 1/2 turn halfway through baking. Remove from oven, remove from pan, and serve immediately.

BLT RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Arrange the bacon on the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake to your desired level of crispiness, 12-15 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• On a cutting board, spread a generous layer of mayonnaise over each slice of bread.
• Layer the sliced tomato, lettuce, and bacon over the mayonnaise on 2 slices of bread. Place the other slices of bread on top. Cut the sandwiches in half on the diagonal.
• Enjoy!
