These bacon cups are the most exciting food idea you've seen in a long time. Because bacon is the yummiest thing on the planet, I don’t see why we shouldn’t be using it as an edible serving dish. Check this out!
These BLTs skip the bread and put more emphasis on the bacon. We replaced the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt to help make them lighter but you can use the traditional mayonnaise or even sour cream if you prefer. This recipe can be prepared as a snack or for a light breakfast without the need for so many ingredients. You can change the salad filling for what you like.
