Halve cherry tomatoes, crumble the cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces, and thinly slice the red onion.
Top each wedge with cherry tomato halves, bacon crumbles, and red onion slices, dividing the toppings evenly among the servings.
Sprinkle blue cheese crumbles over the wedges for an extra layer of flavor.
