Serving Size: 9

Cooking Time: 65 minutes

Ingredients

• 18 Slices bacon
• 1.5 Cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 Head butter lettuce, torn
• 1 Cup Cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Turn two muffin tins upside down and cover the outside of 9 cups with aluminum foil. This will serve as the mold for your bacon bowls.
2. Lay out 9 strips of bacon vertically on a flat surface. Weave 9 more strips horizontally through the vertical strips to create a tight bacon mat. Cut this mat into 9 even squares.
3. Drape each bacon square over the foil-covered muffin cups, pressing gently to shape them into bowls.
4. Place the muffin tins in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and golden. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
5. Carefully remove the bacon bowls from the muffin tins and allow them to cool completely. Once cooled, fill each bowl with a handful of torn butter lettuce and a few halved cherry tomatoes.
6. If desired, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Cheddar cheese over the top of each filled bacon bowl.
7. Arrange the bacon bowls on a serving platter and serve at room temperature. Enjoy the delightful combination of crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and juicy tomatoes.
