These quick hors d'oeuvres may be mini, but their bacon and tomato flavor is full size. I serve them at parties, brunches and picnics, and they're always a hit...even my kids love them. —Kellie Remmen, Detroit Lakes, Minnesota

I've been making this recipe for many years. The only difference is, instead of parsley, use a nice helping of lettuce (that's the L in BLT!)

I loved this recipe and so did my family. My daughter even ate them and she hates tomatoes. :) I added a few things of my own because I had them on hand and it just seemed like they would taste good in there. I used about a half of a sweet onion, half a pack of ritz crackers and two dill pickles. They turned out SO good. I also used some of the insides of the tomatoes because it seemed wasteful throwing it all out. I used the tomatoes that are the size of a golf ball (not sure what they are called) and they seemed to work well with the filling. YUM! The only advice I have is if you are using these as a snack and you are keeping your eye on the amount of calories you are eating during a day to make sure you look at the calories for these because they are about 113 per tomato which is not what I was expecting when I hate 4 of them... :/ But, still super yummy and I will definitely be making them again.

These are way too much work for what you end up with.

went with themonica review and was a little upset as we made 250 tomato wedges and they thought it was red pepper, personally I would make again with cherry tomatoes and just for a house pary to much work for a wedding etc.-Lurleen

Awesome awesome recipe! I did end up doing a few things differently. I used the 3 oz bag of precooked crumbled bacon and, because my daughter really dislikes onion, I used fresh basil instead of the green onion and parsley. Also, by the time I was ready to stuff the tomatoes, I had to add almost an entire 1/2 cup extra of mayo! (Cheese absorbed and stiffened everything.) It filled 2 pints of small cherry tomatoes easily. (Used the baggie method.) And, for presentation, I placed fresh basil leaves all over the plate and put these on top. A couple leaves on top...everyone thought it was beautiful. Very happy with this recipe!

Yummy! Awesome! It's a KEEPER!I've made these a few times and will continue to. I will gently squeeze the tomatoes to scoop out the juice and seeds (they don't look squished.) You can use a piping tool to fill the insides. No matter how you do it - it's worth the work. I have in the past used a bag of dried beans (rinsed and cleaned) to hold-up my tomatoes and layered curly lettuce on top and around the tomatoes and beans to make it look nice. And to the reviewer that asked where the "L" was, this is called a BLT BITE because it "taste" like a BLT sandwhich. Thank you Kellie for posting this. EXCELLENT!

I absolutely LOVE this recipe! I don't use the cherry tomatoes, what I do is take a regular vine tomatoes, slice them into wedges, remove seeds/guts, pat dry with a paper towel and dollop the mix on the wedge. Not only does it stay standing up, it is much quicker and you still get all the flavors.
