The recipe for these BLT sandwiches begins with homemade biscuits made from flour, salt, butter, buttermilk and eggs. The biscuits are rolled into smaller-sizes to make [one-bite sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilled-cheesestyle-bites). Once the biscuits are baked and are super flakey and golden they can be topped with the traditional BLT fixings including [square sliced crispy bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hickorysmoked-bacon), fresh cherry tomatoes, torn lettuce and mayo. Thanks to the smaller size of these BLTs they can be enjoyed in one bite as finger food at get togethers or sit down brunches. The upscale take on the recipe makes it a bit more sophisticated. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Miniature Food:** Opportunity for creating and marketing miniature versions of popular dishes as gourmet appetizers. - **Upscale Brunch:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to offer elevated brunch options with gourmet sandwiches and small bites. - **Alternative Breads:** Market potential for bread substitutes like biscuits for creating unique and portable sandwiches. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Catering:** Innovative culinary options and gourmet appetizers for events and gatherings. - **Hospitality and Restaurants:** Upscaling brunch menus and offering unique sandwich and small bite options. - **Bakery and Breads:** Exploring alternative bread options to provide variety and portability in sandwich offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Savory Ready-to-Bake Biscuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ham-cheddar-biscuits.md) - [Savory Sourdough BLT Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardees-frisco-blt.md) - [Bite-Sized Lobster Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-grilled-cheese.md) - [Breakfast Croissant BLT Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wendys-egg-blt.md) - [BLT Croissant Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wendys-3.md) - [Homestyle Biscuit Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-bacon-biscuit-sandwich.md) - [Crispy Breakfast Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentons-pancake-cookie-thins.md) - [Buttermilk Biscuit Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buttermilk-biscuit-sandwiches.md) - [Heat-and-Eat Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-breakfast-sandwich.md)
