My favorite sandwich is a BLT, though I usually substitute spinach for the lettuce to pack in extra vitamins and nutrients. So, when I was trying to come up with some new appetizer ideas for our upcoming Super Bowl party, I decided to use the BLT as my inspiration.

These were a big hit with everyone in my family EXCEPT for my 12-year old son who hates cream cheese. So, I can’t promise that this will please the pickiest of eaters, but they’re sure to get scooped up by everyone else.

    • Yes! They actually warm up great in the microwave. Wrap them loosely in a paper towel to hold in the moisture though so the dough doesn’t dry out and harden.

    When it comes to quick and easy appetizers that are also finger-licking good – this one’s a winner! I plan to make this yummy recipe again (for the third time in a row!) for New Year’s Eve.

    A few nights ago, my husband made the comment that he wanted BLTs for dinner. I guess that I have lead a sheltered life… I had no clue what they were. With a few quick internet searches, I determined they are not something I would ever eat. HA! However, those internet searches revealed these yummy looking bites. So, I printed the recipe and ran to the store.

    These were a huge hit and even I liked them. 🙂 They seemed to satisfy my husband’s request AND I didn’t have to choke down raw tomatoes. SCORE! 🙂

    • I agree! I feed them to my kids as a fun lunch. I froze some before cooking and I do like to pull them out and cook them in the toaster oven for a healthier, heartier snack once in awhile. If you ever make them, please stop back and let me know how you liked them and any changes you make to the recipe to make them better.
