  BLT Bites

  Try this appetizer for a taste of summer- tomato with bacon flavor.  They're always a hit at parties, brunches and picnics.

  Ingredients: 2 packages Campari tomatoes (or substitute cherry or grape, but Camparis are SUPER sweet) 1 lb bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled … or 4.5 ounces real bacon bits 2/3 cup mayonnaise 3 green onions, white and light green parts, chopped finely 3 T grated Parmesan cheese 2 T fresh chopped parsley or 2 tsp dried parsley flakes

  Directions: Take a tiny slice off the bottom of each tomato so that they sit flat on the plate. Take a small slice off the stem end (top) of the tomatoes and then scoop out the pulp and seeds with a teaspoon. Set them upside down on paper towels to drain. Cook the bacon and let it cool. In a small bowl, mix together cool, crumbled bacon, mayonnaise, green onion, cheese and parsley. Flip tomatoes right side up and sprinkle lightly with salt. Spoon the filling into the tomatoes. Refrigerate for several hours before serving to let the flavors meld. Serve and Enjoy!
