For a change from the usual toasted tomato appetizer, try these baked bites. If you like, slice the baguette at an angle instead of making a straight cut.

Made this to bring to Christmas. It went over amazingly well! My brother hates mayo so I didn't tell him there was any in it.... He loved it!

I made these for the first time this week for a birthday gathering - everyone LOVED them! I used Hormel bacon pieces instead of the 6 strips of bacon (easier) and I used 2 green onions instead of one. (love onions)

Really great recipe! Baking the baguettes for 8-9 minutes is way too long (try 3 minutes, then check). Also, final baking for 7-8 minutes was too long (again, check it). Will make this recipe many times over.
