These crispy mini BLT cups are bite-sized appetizers made with baked wonton wrappers filled with smoky bacon, fresh lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and a garlic mayo spread. Perfect for quick entertaining and crowd-pleasing finger food.

Ingredients

  • Wonton wrappers (square, about 3.5 inches wide)
  • Bacon (thick-cut or regular, sliced into small pieces)
  • Cherry or grape tomatoes (halved)
  • Romaine or iceberg lettuce (finely shredded)
  • Mayonnaise
  • Garlic powder (a pinch)
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Green onions (optional, thinly sliced)
  • Cheddar cheese (optional, shredded)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lay bacon strips on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until crispy but not too brittle. Remove, drain on paper towels, and chop into small pieces.
  3. Gently press each wonton wrapper into the wells of your muffin tin, shaping them into little cups. Lightly spray or brush the wrappers with olive oil or melted butter for extra crispness.
  4. Place the tin in the oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Let them cool slightly before removing.
  5. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with a pinch of garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well.
  6. Spoon a little mayo mixture into each wonton cup. Add a few bacon pieces, halved tomatoes, and shredded lettuce. Sprinkle green onions or cheddar cheese on top if using.

Notes

Do not overfill wonton cups to avoid sogginess. Use room temperature wonton wrappers for easier shaping. Rotate muffin tin halfway through baking for even crispness. Bake bacon in oven for less mess and even cooking. Store baked cups and toppings separately for best texture. Reheat empty cups in oven at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to crisp again.
