Ingredients

  • 6 Large eggs hard boiled and peeled
  • Cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 3 Pieces Cooked Bacon finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon finely minced chives with extra for plating
  • Cup chiffonade romaine
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • 15-20 Cherry tomatoes seeded (see Quick Cooking Tip)

Instructions

  • For this recipe, I bought hard boiled eggs from the grocery to save time. Otherwise, hard boil the eggs, peel the shell and add to a bowl.
  • Add in the mayonnaise and mustard.
  • Use a potato masher and combine all the ingredients. Otherwise, smash with a fork.
  • Incorporate the bacon, chives, romaine, salt and pepper. Mix well and taste. Adjust seasoning.
  • Add the BLT Tomato Bites mixture to a zip-lock freezer bag. Push the mixture to one of the corners and cut about a ¼” piece of the bag with scissors to make a piping bag. Place in the refrigerator while working on the tomatoes.

Preparing the Tomatoes

  • First wash the tomatoes.
  • Next, slice off a tiny bit from the very bottom of the tomato so it will stand up on its own.
  • Using a strawberry huller, remove the stem. Then push the huller into the tomato and remove the insides. It’s ok if the edge of the hole gets ripped or mushed up a bit- it will be covered up by the BLT Tomato Bites mixture when you pipe it in.

Finishing the Appetizer

  • Take the piping bag out of the refrigerator.
  • Fill each of the tomatoes with the mixture.
  • Top with extra chives or finely minced scallions.
  • Enjoy!
