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
Directions
Step 1
Wash all the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Invert the hollowed cherry tomatoes onto a paper towel to drain any excess liquid while you prepare the filling.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Taste the filling mixture and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Step 6
Carefully spoon the prepared filling into each hollowed cherry tomato, slightly mounding the mixture on top for presentation.
Step 7
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.
