BLT Bites

"These are like taking a little bite of summer. The flavors blend so well and taste great. They never stand a chance at picnics or potlucks. They always are gone before the meal begins. Quantities and ingredients may be adapted to suit your personal tastes."

  1. I made these at New Year and should have tripled it, the vanished so quickly. I will make these often all through the year, I know.
     
  2. All about making it easy - just a couple tips - for those having trouble "stuffing the tomatoes" - put the filling inside a small plastic bag, snip the end of the bag and squeeze the filling into tomatoes - like a pastry bag.<br/>Don't have time or don't feel like cooking the bacon - use the Oscar Meyer bacon pieces.
     
  3. These were AWESOME. I tripled the recipe to take to my nephews graduation party. I'm glad I made so many!! There weren't any left to take home. It took quite a while to get them all made but it was worth it. I baked my bacon in the oven which made everything easier. I baked it on a rack on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil. That way all the grease falls through the rack and collected all on the aluminum foil for easy clean up. I really really loved these and think that sometime I might just mix up the filling and spread it on toast and top with with tomato slices...*yum*. Thanks so much for posting, this is definitely going in the keeper file!!
     
  4. I brought this to a potluck and everyone loved it! I put the stuffing into a ziploc bag, cut off the corner and used that to fill the tomatoes - worked like a charm.
     
  5. I just made these for Thanksgiving and they came out wonderful!! I read some of the reviews and noticed that a lot of people had trouble stuffing the cherry tomatoes, so I bought Roma tomatoes instead..I sliced them in half so it was easier to stuff them...much much easier! I added a bit of the pulp so I didn't have to add too much mayo. they came out very very delish! Well make again for sure! Thanks.

Tweaks

  1. Although I love this recipe, I make mine a little different, and my family loves these. I don't use the Parmesan cheese or the chopped green just because I don't put that on my BLT sandwiches. I use grape tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes. As they are easier to stuff, and you can use your hands. I do add to this recipe a 1/4 cup of whipped cream cheese with chives because I do spread that on my bread for a BLT. I do garnish with lettuce shreds. These are really good.
     
  2. These are incredibly tasty! I make these for guests following the recipe exactly, but when I make it around the house for a snack, I use turkey bacon instead of pork bacon and use 1/4 cup of sour cream and 1/4 cup of mayonnaise. It does change the flavour slightly, but it reduces the fat content.
