Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cups Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cups Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 0.5 cups Romaine lettuce, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Green onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the tops off the cherry tomatoes and carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp using a small spoon or a melon baller. Place the hollowed-out tomatoes upside down on a paper towel to allow excess moisture to drain while you prepare the filling.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, crumbled bacon, chopped romaine lettuce, green onions, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each hollowed cherry tomato with the bacon-lettuce mixture. Be sure to pack the filling gently but fully into each tomato.
Once all the tomatoes are filled, place them on a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped green onion or a sprinkle of crumbled bacon for extra flair.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy your delicious bite-sized BLT Cherry Tomatoes!
