Savory Bacon Lettuce, Tomato & Avocado Cups

1. Preheat Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F. This ensures it’s hot enough to crisp the bacon perfectly.

2. Prepare Bacon Cups

Turn a muffin tin upside down and place it on a baking sheet to catch any drippings. For each cup, take one slice of bacon and cut it in half, then lay the halves in a cross over the back of a muffin cup. Follow this by wrapping a whole slice of bacon around the sides to form a circle. Secure the bacon with toothpicks to keep everything in place.

3. Bake Bacon Cups

Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it; you want the bacon to be crispy and golden brown. Once done, carefully transfer the bacon cups to a cooling rack and let them rest for 10 minutes.

4. Prepare Fillings

While the bacon cups are resting, chop the romaine lettuce, dice the avocado, and halve the grape tomatoes.

5. Assemble Bacon Cups

Once the bacon cups are firm, gently remove them from the muffin tin and place them on a plate. Fill each bacon cup with a generous portion of chopped romaine lettuce, a few pieces of diced avocado, and some halved grape tomatoes. Finally, top each cup with a dollop of sour cream.
