A delightful and easy-to-make appetizer featuring juicy tomatoes, creamy cheese, and crispy bacon.
Slice the tomatoes into thick rounds and place them on a paper towel to drain for a few minutes.
Draining the tomatoes helps prevent excess moisture during cooking.
Arrange the tomato slices on a greased broiler pan.
Ensure the slices are evenly spaced for consistent cooking.
Sprinkle the tomato slices with garlic powder.
Adjust the amount of garlic powder to your taste preference.
Spread a dollop of mayonnaise on each tomato slice.
Use a spoon to evenly spread the mayonnaise.
Top each slice with shredded mozzarella cheese and a piece of crispy bacon.
Crumble the bacon for easier topping distribution.
Broil the tomato slices in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the broiler to avoid overcooking.
Serve the Cheesy Tomato Bites warm and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.
