Ingredients
- 20 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 small head Romaine lettuce
- 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Place on a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then crumble into fine pieces.
Step 2
Cut the tops off the cherry tomatoes and hollow them out using a small spoon or melon baller. Set them upside down on a paper towel to drain any liquid.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, crumbled bacon, finely chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Finely chop the romaine lettuce and fold it gently into the mayonnaise mixture.
Step 5
Using a small spoon or piping bag, carefully fill each hollowed-out cherry tomato with the bacon-lettuce mixture.
Step 6
Arrange the filled cherry tomatoes on a serving platter. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
