New Year's Eve

In keeping with our family tradition, tonight will be spent working on puzzles, playing games and eating hors d'oeuvres.

I wanted to share with you one of my son's favorites - the reason this one is so great is if there is any left overs, you can easily make ravioli pasta for dinner tomorrow!


Bacon and Tomato Cups

8 slices bacon
1 cup chopped tomato
3 scallions, thinly sliced
4 oz shredded Swiss Cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp chopped basil
Won won wrappers

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Brush both sides of a won ton wrapper lightly with vegetable oil and press into a mini muffin pan.  Bake for 8 minutes or until light golden brown.  Cool on a wire rack while preparing the filling.

In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until evenly brown.  Drain on paper towels.

Crumble bacon into a mixing bowl, and mix with tomato, scallions, cheese, mayo and basil.

Place a baked won ton wrapper back into each of the mini muffin pan cups and fill with 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the filling has melted through.  Be careful not to let the won ton cups burn!

Like I said, if you have left over filling and uncooked won ton wrappers, use them for ravioli!

I originally found this recipe on AllRecipes.com, but tweaked it just a bit for work better for my family.
