BLT Cups Recipe
Report
These little BLT cups are everything we love about a classic BLT sandwich, served up as a healthy bite-size appetizer. Cherry tomatoes are hollowed out and stuffed with arugula, crispy bacon, and a homemade spicy chipotle mayo. They're perfect for parties, and they're ready in just 20 minutes!

Ingredients
Mini BLT Cups
- 5 trips Bacon
- 24 cherry tomatoes
- 24 pieces baby arugula
Chipotle Mayo
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons adobo sauce see notes
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- ½ teaspoon soy sauce gluten-free if needed
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- Optional: 2-3 drops liquid smoke see notes
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a large pan over medium-high heat until crispy. Let the bacon cool slightly. When it is cool enough to handle, break 24 small pieces for the topping and crumble the rest.
- While the bacon is cooking, hollow out the cherry tomatoes and make the mayo. Cut off the bottoms (they will sit on their tops) and carefully scoop/ shake out the insides with a small spoon.
- Whisk all the mayo ingredients together in a small bowl. Transfer the mayo to a small pastry bag.
- Tuck a piece of arugula into each cherry tomato. Spoon a little of the crumbled bacon inside then fill with the chipotle mayo and top with a piece of bacon.
Notes
- Adobo sauce is the sauce that comes in the jar when you buy chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. It's available in the Mexican section of most grocery stores.
- Bottles of liquid smoke are generally sold near BBQ sauces in most grocery stores. A bottle is very inexpensive and will last a long time. It adds a really nice smoky flavor to the mayo.
