BLT Bites

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.

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.

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.
Don't have time or don't feel like cooking the bacon - use the Oscar Meyer bacon pieces.

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.

This is amazing :) ..the filling at least, since I accidentally bought grape tomatoes and they were impossible to stuff with the tools I had. The filling was SO GOOD I decided to add the whole grape tomatoes to the filling and 1 extra Tbsp. mayo and 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil. It was a delicious chilled salad! (for BLT lovers as the bacon taste was very strong but delish) Thank you Guava Girl for the idea and I can't wait to actually use it as intended.

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!!

We liked it. I made it the night before and tried it. We loved it. We tried one right out of the fridge today and we loved it. It sat out until room temperature; we liked it. Thanks for the easy recipe. One tip: I have a serrated grapefruit spoon and it works great to hollow out the tomatoes.

These adorable little bites were a big hit! Made as directed with the exception of halving the parsley. I did make the filling the night before as suggested. Thanks for sharing!

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.

I doubled this recipe and brought it to a co-worker's going away party. Really great, and lots of people asked for the recipe. Very time consuming, but worth it. One trick: since this uses a pound of bacon, I baked it in a jellyroll pan at 400 degrees, turning often. Saves a lot of mess on the stove. Next time I will look for even bigger cherry tomatoes (I used far more than 60 tomatoes for the double batch and still had leftover bacon mixture), and I think I'll follow another reviewer's advice and simply slice them in half.

Found these awhile ago, but just got around to making them. Are they wonderful!!! Will definately make again and everybody wanted the recipe. I didn't see the melon baller hint for scooping. I'm sure that's easier and will try that next time.

These are delicious! Just made a batch to take to a friends pool party, they might not make it as you can't eat just one. Will use this recipe often. Thanks

I had such a hard time finding cherry tomatos I went to 3 grocery stores! Guess that is something to add to my garden next year. Anyway I served these for a party and they were gone in a an instant. I actually only tasted one. I thought they were really good and I used shredded cheddar in the recipe. Also I added a tiny bit of kosher salt to the tomatos to keep them firm before adding the stuffing. I made the mixture the night before and stuffed a couple of hours before the party. I thought this was an easy to make recipe. I did serve them in the summer so I do think that would make a difference in the quality of this recipe.

These are fantastic! The only changes I made is I didn't use the parsley, I forgot, and I added just a spoonful of mirical whip. My cherry tomatoes must have been small because the bacon mixture was enough for 42 tomatoes with some filling left over. Even my mom who dosn't like tomatoes loved this. Thanks so much for posting!

Oh and I found that the metal handle of an infant's spoon was the perfect size for scooping out the tomatoes.

These bites did not go over very well for me and my family. They tasted to much like mayo and not like the BLT I had bragged about. I followed the recipe as written but feel maybe cream cheese would have been better than mayo. They looked great because I used really good tomatoes, hollowed them out and turned them over to drain then mixed the filling and let set in the refridgerator to meld. I stuffed them and returned to chill. Everyone couldn't wait to try but after one bite they didn't go back and the remaining tomatoes were thrown away. Thanks anyway!

It was a bit time consuming as I didn't buy larger cherry tomatoes but it was delicious! They were the talk of the social gathering. Thx!

These were DELISH!! I took them as a cooks appetizer while we were getting ready for thanksgiving dinner- now everyone wants the recipe. I made the dip the day before so the flavors could come out. They travel pretty well but the tomatoes were starting to look a little sad where I had salted them inside- I won't do that next time. And there WILL be a next time. Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!
