These delightful stuffed cherry tomatoes are filled with a savory bacon and herb mayonnaise mixture, making them a perfect appetizer or snack.
Cut the tops off the cherry tomatoes and carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp using a small spoon.
Use a small spoon or a melon baller for easier scooping.
Sprinkle a small amount of salt inside each tomato and place them upside down on a paper towel to drain for 15 minutes.
Salting helps to draw out excess moisture, ensuring the filling stays creamy.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crispy bacon, shredded lettuce, mayonnaise, fresh chives, and finely chopped green onion. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Chop the bacon into small pieces for even distribution in the filling.
Fill each tomato with the prepared mixture using a small spoon.
Slightly overfill the tomatoes for an appealing presentation.
Arrange the stuffed tomatoes on a serving platter and garnish with additional chopped chives if desired. Serve immediately.
Serve chilled for a refreshing appetizer.
