How To Make bacon and tomato cups

  • Step 1

    Separate each biscuit into thirds if you can, if not just half them. This will cause you to have less cups. You will have 16 to 24 thin biscuits. Spray mini muffin tin with buttered flavored non stick spray. Press bisquits into each muffin tin. Spoon 1 tablespoon full into the middle of each biscuit. Top each with a sprinkle of cheese.
