Best Blteenies Recipes

BLINIS

Steps:

• Whisk milk, 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons flour, eggs, and sugar together in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup melted butter; whisk well. Let batter sit, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add beef; cook until no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain. Chop the boiled beef finely until even in texture.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook, while stirring, until soft and golden, about 10 minutes. Increase heat to medium and add the chopped beef, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir filling until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
• Heat oil in a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Pour 3 to 4 tablespoons of batter into the skillet and quickly rotate the skillet to spread batter out in a thin layer. Cook until edges are brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge of the skillet to loosen blini; flip and cook until the other side has turned light brown, about 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Spread 2 tablespoons beef filling on 1 side of each blini. Fold edges over filling and roll blini up. Repeat with remaining filling and blini.

BLTEENIES

Steps:

• Mix together the mayo, sour cream, and dressing mix. This is going to "glue" all of the layers of the sandwich together.
• Make an open-faced mini sandwich with the rest of the ingredients: First spread the bread with mayonnaise mixture to the edges (be generous-I use just less than a tablespoon.).
• Add some shredded lettuce, covering the spread.
• Put a small dollop of the mayo mixture in the center of the lettuce, then add a slice of tomato.
• Add a chocolate-chip sized amount of the mayo mixture, followed by a nice sprinkling of the bacon.
• Voila, you're done. Put on a pretty platter and serve.

JUICY BLT

Steps:

• Working in batches if necessary, fry bacon in a large skillet over high heat until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large cutting board.
• While bacon cooks, slice tomato crosswise into thin rounds. Transfer to a plate and marinate with red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper.
• Spread toast generously with mayonnaise on one side, follow with remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.
• Divide the tomatoes with some of their vinegar marinade among 2 slices of toast. Top with the lettuce.
• Lay the bacon on the remaining slices of toast. Form sandwiches by piling the bacon-topped slices on top of the remaining toasts. Squeeze to close, cut in half and serve immediately.
