There’s nothing like a good appetizer to win over any guest you bring home. Whether at a party or a casual beer night with friends. However, sometimes it is difficult for us to leave the classic canapés or pinchos when there is a whole world of possibilities. If you need original ideas, you can opt for these light options or add cheese to the thing and try this family recipe from Miguel Ayuso de Direct to the Palate of savory bacon, cheese and tomato tarts. They are to die for and very easy to make..
We heat the oven to 200º and, while it heats up, we prepare all the ingredients for the tartlets. Peel and chop the onion, cook for a few minutes in the microwave. Peel, deseed and cut the tomatoes in mirepoix. Beat the eggs and add salt and pepper. And we cut the bacon into strips, if we have not bought it already cut.

We then spread the base of a muffin tin with butter, so that the ingredients do not stick to us, and we add in this order: a tablespoon of chopped onion, another of bacon and another of chopped tomato. We cover the mold with grated cheese, almost to the edge, and fill it with the beaten egg, which will serve as mortar for the mixture.
Finally, we bake the cakes at 200º C for 20 minutes, or until well browned. Let them rest for a few minutes before unmolding and serving. They are very easy to prepare in large quantities, so they are ideal as an appetizer on a holiday. However, they are also a handy dinner accompanied by a light salad. Of course, never miss a good artisan bread at the table.

Also, bacon can be easily substituted for another type of protein such as York ham or chorizo. And replacing it, for example, with mushrooms, we also have a great vegetarian appetizer.
