Bacon Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes
Use this recipe to make the most popular snack at your holiday party, Bacon Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Bacon
- 4 Green Onions
- 1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
- 18 oz Cherry Tomatoes
Instructions
- In order to get these tomatoes to stand up, you will need to cut off the opposite of the stem end.
- Use a small measuring spoon or melon baller to gently remove the pulp and seeds from each tomato. Turn the tomatoes cut side down onto a paper towel allow to drain while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
- Cook the bacon. I always place my bacon on cookie sheets and cook in the oven at 350º. I flip it 2 or 3 times while it’s cooking. It needs to me crispy. As in life in general, chewy bacon isn’t good in this recipe. Place the bacon on a paper towel lined plate. While the bacon is cooling, finely slice the green onions. Once the bacon is cooled chop it up into small pieces.
- Place the chopped bacon and onions in a bowl with the mayonnaise and mix until well combined.
- Scoop the filling into the tomatoes and place finished tomatoes on a serving platter.

Special Note for Trim Healthy Mamas:
This delicious snack is one of my favorites but a bit high in calories, after all, it is just cheese. The serving size is about 5 tomatoes but you could eat 2 servings if you wanted but make sure this S snack is in line with whatever you've eaten if you're eating within 3 hours of your last meal.
