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 made these for a dinner party and everyone loved them. They're so yummy and cute. I used a 1/4 tsp measuring spoon to scoop them out, it worked really well.

I served these at my dinner party last night - they were a huge hit... Easy to make, even better to eat!! I used a cake decorating bag to squeeze the filling into the tomatoes after I scooped them out and drained them - YUMMY!!

I had a hard time scooping out the tomatoes and got frustrated so, I chopped up the tomatoes and just mixed all ingredients together and spread on crostini ... everyone loved them and asked for the recipe!

Takes a little while to prepare but worth it! My kids loved it and they don't even like tomatoes!

I made this recipe for the first time on New Year's Eve and everyone LOVED IT! In fact my neighbor asked for the recipe and wants me to make them for a party later this month.

This recipe was a hit at my Christmas party!!! Everyone was like this is so delicious and once my mother told them how long it takes they all were like can I please have that recipe. I passed it along so this is going to be a hit at other peoples gatherings! :)

These are fantastic! I used a little larger size tomato, the campari tomato, rather than the cherry tomato. This made them both easy to remove the "guts", as well as having a larger opening on top, which made them easier to fill with a small spoon. No need then to use a plastic bag to put the filling in. The amount of filling works out perfectly for 20 campari tomatoes. Delicious!!

I have made these every Christmas since they appeared in TOH. If I forget, I'm quickly reminded by my family. Labor intensive, but so delicious. My daughter was in charge of making these one year, and she took the filling ingredients and put them in a food processor, and pulsed until coarsely chopped. What a time saver! And, they are definitely the first appetizers to disappear. (My daughters and I often ate most of the filling to "taste" if it was "just right." :))

 Dec 13, 2010: Update: I just made these for my boyfriend's office party yesterday, and they disappeared so fast, he and I only got one each. I doubled the recipe. BUT, I did have LEFTOVER FILLING...and, YUM...I spread a couple teaspoons on half a high fiber english muffin, topped it with some plain egg salad (just egg and light mayo), and had the yummiest breakfast sandwich! It would be good as a spread on turkey sandwiches, too. Or, hey, how about as a bagel topping? Mmmm...
