Helpful Tips
- Change it up: While the usual sauce for a BLT is mayo you can change the flavor of these bites by swapping it out for pesto, sriracha mayo, or garlic aioli.
- Prep Ahead for Ease: Cook the bacon ahead of time to make assembly quick and stress-free when it’s time to serve.
- Keep Them Crisp: Keep these little bites in the refrigerator until just before serving to prevent the mayo from warming up and maintain that satisfying crunch.
