Blt Cukes Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Arrange 3 tablespoons Cheddar cheese in a 4-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat to make 1 more circle.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Turn a muffin tip upside-down. Invert the parchment paper over the muffin tin and line one cheese circle up with one muffin cup. Slowly peel the parchment back from the cheese circle, using an offset spatula or small knife to release the cheese from the paper. Form the cheese around the muffin cup and hold it for 5 seconds to help mold into a cup shape. Repeat the process with the remaining cheese circle.
• Make 2 more cheese cups with remaining cheese by following the same process.
• Toss lettuce, tomato, and bacon together in a small bowl to combine; divide mixture evenly among cheese cups.
• Stir mayonnaise and chives together in a small bowl and divide evenly between cheese cups. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Combine bacon, tomato, lettuce and spinach with mayonnaise. Season with pepper; set aside.
• Peel cucumber. Trim off ends and slice in half lengthwise. Use spoon to scoop out seeds; discard seeds. Divide BLT mixture between cucumber halves, mounding in hollowed areas. Sprinkle with minced parsley, if desired. Cut into 2-inch pieces.
• Note: Make these snacks when cucumbers are plentiful and large enough to easliy hollow out with a spoon. You may make these up to 12 hours ahead of time and chill until serving.
