Spirit's Bacon Bruscetta Bombs

It's not really bruscetta but it reminds me a lot of it and shares some of the key ingredients with the addition of delicious bacon. I made this for my coworkers once and it was a big hit. Be warned that the ingredient measurements are a little loose.

Steps

30 mins

1

Dice the onions and tomato. Discard the tomato guts, you don't want it soggy. Lightly salt the diced tomato only. Then you can put in the same bowl as the onions. If you put the tomato over the onions while prepping the rest then the smell will be muffled. I like strong white onions, so this little step is important to me.
2

Mix all dry seasoning to taste. Go light on the salt, it'll be fine
3

Now mix the dry seasonings into the mayonnaise. It should turn a nice salmon color with the cayenne. This ensures the spices get an even spread.
4

Spread a thin layer of the spicy mayo on the hoagie rolls (sliced side).
5

Toss the tomatoes and onions and sprinkle them over the spicy mayo.
6

Now you can sprinkle the delicious crumbled bacon (I don't care how you obtain it).
7

Sprinkle the shredded cheese next. Sprinkled! Not tossed in huge gobs!
8

Toss'em in the oven, at about 200°F for round about ten minutes. Just enough to toast the bread and melt the cheese. Keep an eye on them. You don't want the tomatoes and onions to go all wilty and sad on you.
9

Withdraw from the oven and eat as soon as you won't burn your fingers...that much.
