Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 0.25 cup romaine lettuce, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon green onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash all the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the tops off each cherry tomato. Use a small spoon or a melon baller to scoop out the pulp and seeds, creating a hollow interior. Be gentle so as not to damage the tomato shells.
Invert the hollowed cherry tomatoes onto a paper towel to drain any excess liquid while you prepare the filling.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, chopped romaine lettuce, mayonnaise, green onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Taste the filling mixture and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Carefully spoon the prepared filling into each hollowed cherry tomato, slightly mounding the mixture on top for presentation.
Arrange the stuffed cherry tomatoes on a platter and serve immediately. For a fancier touch, garnish with a small piece of bacon or lettuce on top of each bite.
