Imposter Dessert Blt Recipes

Steps:

• Make the bread: Cut 1 pound cake into twelve 1/2-inch-thick slices, then halve each slice on the diagonal. Mix 2 teaspoons almond extract with 1/8 teaspoon brown gel food coloring; brush lines on the pound cake with a food-safe paintbrush or press on with a wooden skewer.
• Make the tomatoes: Heat 1 cup each sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat until dissolved. Add 2 cups thinly sliced strawberries; let soak, turning occasionally, 5 minutes. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet with a slotted spoon. Let cool.
• Make the mayonnaise: Whisk 3 egg whites and 1 cup sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water until dissolved, 3 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pan; beat with a mixer on high speed until stiff and glossy, 5 minutes. Beat in 2 sticks softened butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until smooth. Beat in 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.
• Make the lettuce: Melt 1 cup each light green and dark green candy melts and 1/4 cup white candy melts in the microwave in separate bowls. Pour over a crumpled piece of parchment on a baking sheet; swirl the colors with a toothpick. Let set, then break into pieces.
• Make the bacon: Roll out 2 ounces each pink, white and brown fondant into three 10-inch logs; twist together. Roll out the log into a 6-by-12-inch rectangle on a cornstarch-dusted surface. Fold in half and reroll. Cut into twelve 1-inch-thick strips, then shape into wavy strips of bacon and let dry.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and cream cheese. Mix until combined.
• Add in the cooked and crumbled bacon, reserve about 1/4 cup for the topping after the dip comes out of the oven.
• Add in cheddar cheese, 1 diced tomato, and green onions. Stir in well.
• Pour the mixture into a shallow baking dish or a pie pan. Spread evenly in the pan.
• Bake for about 20 minutes or until it starts to bubble around the edge.
• After you remove from the oven, top with additional bacon crumbles, diced tomato, and shredded lettuce.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray. Layer bacon and cheese in pie plate.
• In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, 1/3 cup mayonnaise, the milk, pepper and eggs with wire whisk until blended. Pour into pie plate.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until top is golden brown and knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Spread 2 tablespoons mayonnaise over top of pie. Sprinkle with lettuce. Place tomato slices on lettuce.
