Bacon Tomato Rounds
Bacon Tomato Rounds are savory, cheesy bites featuring flaky biscuits topped with crispy bacon, fresh tomato, and Swiss cheese, perfect for appetizers or brunch gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Separate each biscuit into 3 thinner layers and place on a baking sheet.
- Combine mayonnaise, chopped onion, grated Swiss cheese, chopped tomato, basil or oregano, and crumbled bacon.
- Place 1 tablespoon of the mixture on top of each biscuit layer.
- Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack instead of Swiss. You can also substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a healthier option. If you're short on time, pre-cooked bacon can speed up the process. Make sure to adjust the baking time if you use larger biscuit sizes or different toppings to avoid burning.
Serving Suggestions
These bacon tomato rounds make a fantastic appetizer or snack. Serve them alongside a fresh salad, like Broccoli, Bacon And Mushroom Salad, or pair with a hearty soup for a complete meal. They also make a great addition to brunch spreads, complementing dishes like Pork Chops With Rice-A-Roni.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover bacon tomato rounds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through and crispy. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these bacon tomato rounds ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the biscuit layers and topping mixture in advance. Assemble them and keep them covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just bake them when you're ready to serve for a fresh taste.
What can I use instead of bacon?
For a vegetarian option, try using crumbled tempeh bacon or smoked mushrooms to mimic the flavor. Alternatively, you can skip the meat entirely and increase the cheese or add more vegetables for a delicious twist.
How do I prevent the biscuits from getting soggy?
To prevent soggy biscuits, ensure the tomato is well-seeded and drained. You can also bake the biscuit rounds for a few minutes before adding the topping to create a firmer base that holds up better during baking.
