Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Brioche slider buns
- 6 slices Bacon
- 6 leaves Romaine lettuce
- 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until crispy. Remove and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
While the bacon cooks, wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Tear each leaf into smaller, slider-sized pieces.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. This will be your aioli. Set it aside.
Cut the brioche slider buns in half and lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.
Toast the buns in a large skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the heat.
Assemble the Blteenies: spread a thin layer of aioli on the bottom bun, then layer with a piece of romaine lettuce, half a slice of bacon (fold if needed), and a cherry tomato half (cut side down). Top with the other half of the bun.
Secure each Blteenie with a toothpick if desired, to hold the layers together.
Serve immediately and enjoy these delightful little bites!
