Serve these at parties and they will be gobbled up fast! You can make the crust 2 days in advance and keep in refrigerator.

Provided by Tresa H.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 32m

Yield 14 pies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 refrigerated pie crusts
6 -8 roma tomatoes, chopped
10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
3/4 cup green onion, chopped
5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 3/4 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 cup mayonnaise (ONLY USE GOOD QUALITY!....VERY IMPORTANT)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cut pie crust into circles,(you are going to be putting these into muffin tins -- use your best judgement on the size. I use a glass and usually get 7 from each pie crust).
  • Place each circle of crust into sprayed muffin tin.
  • Dock each crust with fork several times.
  • Bake in 400 degree oven for 8 - 10 minutes, until lightly browned.
  • Remove pie crust from muffin tin and place on cookie sheet (this helps ensure they don't stick to the tin while cooking the next step).
  • Place tomatoes in colander and set in the sink.
  • Sprinkle with salt and allow to drain 15 minutes.
  • Pat drained tomatoes lightly with paper towels.
  • Fill each cup with a tablespoon of tomatoes, a little onion, a little bacon and a pinch of basil.
  • Combine the cheeses and mayonnaise together.
  • Spread mixture on top of tomatoes mounding it up.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in a 375 degree oven, or until top is slightly browned.

Tips:

  • Muffin Tins: Use a mini muffin tin for best results.
  • Muffin Liners: Use paper muffin liners to prevent sticking and for easy removal.
  • Muffin Batter: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter.
  • Baking Time: Bake the muffins for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cooling: Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Freezing: These muffins can be frozen for up to 2 months. To freeze, place the cooled muffins in a single layer in a freezer-safe container.
  • Reheating: To reheat frozen muffins, thaw overnight in the refrigerator or microwave on low power for 30 seconds at a time until warmed through.

These tomato mini muffins are a delicious and versatile snack or breakfast treat. They are easy to make, and you can customize them with your favorite ingredients.
