August is Tomato Month!!! A Recipe.

I was at a farm stand this past week (with all of those hungry,visiting relatives) and I remembered this great recipe. It features the wonderful tomato which is in it's peak of flavor this month. Carol Carson, a long-time MOPS mom, has a good recipe featuring the tomato. These Bacon Tomato Cups have graced the table at many MOPS meetings and they FLY onto the plates because they are soooo good. Here's hoping that you new MOPS moms try this recipe which was first featured in the September 2008 newsletter!

Bacon Tomato Cups

8 slices bacon
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
3oz. shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
8 Grand flaky buttermilk biscuits

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a MINI muffin pan. In a skillet, fry bacon. Let bacon drain on paper towels. Crumble bacon into medium sized mixing bowl. Add the tomato, onion, Swiss cheese, mayonnaise, and Italian seasoning, mix well.
Cut each biscuit in half (2 half moons). Peels each piece apart into 2 ( making 4 half moons from each biscuit). Shape 1 piece at a time into mini muffin cups. Fill biscuits with bacon mixture. Bake 10-12 minutes or until brown.
