  • 24 slices of cocktail rye bread
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1/4 c. finely chopped green onion
  • 3/4 c. mayo
  • 1/2 c. Swiss cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • Toast bread slices for five minutes in a 350 degree oven.
  • Remove from oven, flip slices over.
  • Fry bacon until it’s cooked to your desired crispiness
  • Crumble the bacon, mix with onion, mayo, Swiss, pepper.
  • Place a slice of tomato on bread if used.
  • Spread bacon mix on bread.
  • Put under broiler until bubbling. (5-7 minutes)

Notes

  • Keep an eye on them while broiling so they don't get too browned.
  • Let them cool for a few minutes before serving — trust me, burning the roof of your mouth does not make for a festive party favor. 
  • These can be assembled several hours in advance. Just place them on a cookie sheet and refrigerate until ready to broil and serve.
