Steps:
- Place the bacon in a small skillet; heat over medium heat until beginning to sizzle. Reduce the heat to medium low; cook until crisp and golden brown, about 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the fat in the pan.
- Add the breadcrumbs to the hot bacon fat; cook, stirring often, until lightly toasted and crunchy, about 3 minutes. Remove the breadcrumbs to a separate paper towel-lined plate, spread evenly, and then sprinkle with the Parmesan to melt slightly.
- With a rubber spatula, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice and salt in a bowl. Add the shredded romaine; toss well to coat.
- Cut a small amount off the bottom of each tomato to create a flat surface to sit on. Then cut off the tops as well. Run a small knife around the inside of the tomatoes to loosen the flesh. Using a 1/2-teaspoon measuring spoon, scoop out and discard the insides of each tomato.
- Divide the bacon among the tomatoes, pushing it down slightly. Top with some of the romaine, followed by the bacon-parmesan breadcrumbs. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:
- Lay the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until crispy on both sides, flipping once, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon to a plate and blot any excess grease with paper towels. Let cool slightly then cut each bacon strip into 4 equal pieces.
- While the bacon is cooking, heat a griddle over medium-high heat. Add the baguette slices and cook, watching closely, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
- Spread each baguette slice with mayonnaise. Stack the toppings on each slice in the following order: lettuce leaf, tomato slice, bacon, and a sprinkle of scallions and sea salt.
- Arrange on a platter and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings, such as a hearty white bread, wheat bread, or sourdough.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your BLT bites will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, crispy lettuce, and thick-cut bacon.
- Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds flavor and richness to the bread, so don't be afraid to use a generous amount.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy: Crispy bacon is the best kind of bacon for BLT bites. Cook it in a pan over medium heat until it's golden brown and crispy.
- Assemble the BLT bites just before serving: This will prevent the bread from getting soggy. If you're making them ahead of time, assemble them without the lettuce and tomatoes, and then add those just before serving.
Conclusion:
BLT bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties, picnics, or potlucks. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of prep, you can have a batch of BLT bites ready to enjoy in no time.
