By Tufgrlz

These mini-sandwiches make fantastic finger foods for a luncheon, or simply assemble one anytime for a quick snack. Using basil rather than lettuce gives this traditional sandwich a fresh twist.

Ingredients

• 9 slices ready-to-serve bacon, halved
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 9 slices extra-thin white bread slices
• 3 plum tomatoes, sliced
• 12 fresh basil leaves

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat bacon according to package directions until crisp.

2. Stir together cheese, mayonnaise, and garlic. Spread mayonnaise mixture evenly onto 1 side of each bread slice. Layer 3 bread slices, mayonnaise sides up, with 3 bacon slices each. Top bacon evenly with 1 bread slice, tomato slices, and basil. Top each with remaining bread slices, mayonnaise sides down. Cut each sandwich into quarters.
