BLT Bites

You know all those cherry tomatoes I have overflowing my countertops?  I don’t mind so much.  These are yummy!  Itty bitty BLTs without the bread.  My mom made some for my sister’s baby shower brunch last spring.  What a hit!

BLT Bites

• about 20 cherry tomatoes
• 1 pound bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
• 1/2 c. mayonnaise
• 1/3 c. chopped green onion
• 3 T. Parmesan cheese
• 2 T. fresh parsley, or 1 T. dried parsley

1. Wash tomatoes.  Slice off the tops and scoop out the insides.  (Mom used her potato peeler.  I’m thinking a grapefruit spoon would do the trick, also.)
2. Invert tomatoes on a towel to drain and dry.
3. Mix bacon, mayo, onion, cheese, and parsley.
4. Stuff tomatoes with mixture.  A baby spoon works great for “stuffing!”
5. Refrigerate before serving.
