Creating an Unusual Appetizer with Cheese, Bacon & Onions - Help!

In summary, some creative appetizer ideas using cheese, bacon, and onions include mini quiches, bacon-wrapped onion rings, cheese-stuffed jalapenos, and a cheese and bacon dip with caramelized onions. For vegetarian-friendly options, you can use vegetarian bacon alternatives and pair it with a creamy cheese like goat cheese. Gluten-free options include using gluten-free crackers or bread for a cheese and bacon crostini or using gluten-free tortilla chips for a bacon and onion dip. Most of these appetizers can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. Alternative ingredients that can be used include prosciutto, pancetta, smoked salmon, various types of cheese, and caramelized apples or pears instead of onions.

Ouhh.. I like the sounds of onions and tomatoes. where is that recipe?
 
Tomato Bacon Cups
8 slices bacon, crisply cooked
1 medium tomato
1/2 small onion
3 ounces shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon basil
1 - 10 ounce can refrigerated flaky biscuits (the kind that have the layers to separate)

Preheat oven 375° F. Chop bacon, tomato, and onion. Mix all ingredients into 2 quart batter bowl. Separate each biscuit into 3 thinner biscuits. Spritz muffin pans and lay each biscuit over a cup and shape using miniature-tart shaper. Fill cups with bacon mixture.

Bake 10-12 minutes until golden
 

What are some creative appetizer ideas using cheese, bacon, and onions?

One idea is to make mini bacon and onion quiches using a muffin tin. You can also make bacon-wrapped onion rings or cheese-stuffed bacon-wrapped jalapenos. Another option is to create a cheese and bacon dip with caramelized onions.

How can I incorporate cheese, bacon, and onions into a vegetarian-friendly appetizer?

You can use vegetarian bacon alternatives, such as tempeh or coconut bacon, and pair it with a creamy cheese like goat cheese or a vegan cheese substitute. For the onions, you can caramelize them for added depth of flavor.

Are there any gluten-free options for appetizers with cheese, bacon, and onions?

Yes, you can use gluten-free crackers or bread for a cheese and bacon crostini or make a gluten-free crust for a quiche. You can also use gluten-free tortilla chips for a bacon and onion dip.

Can I make these appetizers ahead of time?

Yes, most of these appetizers can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. The quiches can be frozen and reheated in the oven, and the dips can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave.

Are there any alternative ingredients I can use for these appetizers?

Yes, instead of bacon, you can use prosciutto, pancetta, or even smoked salmon for a different flavor profile. For cheese, you can use a variety of options such as feta, blue cheese, or brie. And instead of onions, you can try using caramelized apples or pears for a sweet twist.
