Notes
Assembling the blt appetizers is made easier by using a ketchup squeeze bottle from your local dollar store, especially if you are making a large quantity. Placing a dot of garlic mayo between layers will help keep the tomato and lettuce from falling off.
Make Ahead Tip: You can toast the bread and cook the bacon up to 4 hours in advance. Keep the bread in an airtight container at room temperature and the bacon in the fridge. Assemble just before serving.
