Bacon Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Bacon-stuffed cherry tomatoes make a very popular appetizer. In fact, double the recipe and you still won't have any left over. This recipe is fussy to make, but it's easy. Just settle in and resign yourself to stuffing tiny tomatoes with a wonderfully flavorful creamy mixture. As a bonus, eat a spoonful or two of the filing as you workTry the new pre-cooked bacon on the market. Just warm it in your microwave to crispy and it's ready to use: no mess, no fuss, and no clean-up. Just make sure that you use real parmesan cheese, real mayonnaise, and real bacon. We don't recommend making this recipe with nonfat mayo, parmesan from that green box, and bacon bits. You can cut a very thin slice off the bottom of each little tomato so it will stand upright, but we think that is unnecessary and just adds work. Use our tip below for lining the serving tray with parsley to keep the little tomatoes upright and looking pretty. For a vegetarian version of this recipe, try substituting cashews or diced avocado for the bacon. These appetizers are perfect at the start of a summer meal when you're grilling outside. Because you have to make them ahead of time, they are perfect for entertaining. They are also great as part of a buffet if you want to throw an appetizer party.
