Ingredients
- 20 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 5 pieces bacon strips
- 4 leaves romaine lettuce
- 1 stalk green onion
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Cook the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease and allow to cool. Once cooled, crumble into small pieces.
Step 2
Cut the tops off the cherry tomatoes and scoop out the seeds and pulp using a small spoon or melon baller. Be careful not to pierce the sides or bottom. Place the hollowed tomatoes upside down on a paper towel to drain while preparing the filling.
Step 3
Finely chop the romaine lettuce and green onion, then combine them in a mixing bowl.
Step 4
Add the mayonnaise, crumbled bacon, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the bowl with the lettuce and green onion. Mix well to create the filling.
Step 5
Turn the cherry tomatoes upright and carefully spoon the filling into each tomato, pressing gently to ensure they are packed but avoiding overfilling.
Step 6
Arrange the BLT Bites on a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with additional crumbled bacon or a sprinkle of chopped green onion.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy!
