BLT Tomato Bites Ingredients List
- 15-20 ripe cherry tomatoes seeded
- 6 large eggs hard-boiled and peeled
- 3 pieces cooked crunchy bacon, finely minced
- ⅓ cup of mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup romaine chiffonade
- 1 tablespoon finely minced chives plus extra for plating
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- If you are not using store-bought hard-boiled eggs, hard boil the eggs, peel the shells, and add them to a bowl.
- Add the creamy mayonnaise and mustard to the bowl. Use a potato masher to combine all the ingredients, or smash with a fork if a potato masher isn't available.
- Incorporate the bacon pieces, chives, romaine, salt, and pepper. Mix well and taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.
- Transfer the BLT tomato mixture to a zip-lock freezer bag. Push the mixture to one of the corners and cut about a ¼ inch piece of the bag with scissors to create a piping bag. Place in the refrigerator while preparing the tomatoes.
Preparing the Tomatoes
- Wash the tomatoes.
- Slice off a tiny bit from the bottom of each tomato so it will stand up on its own.
- Using a strawberry huller or a small knife, remove the stem and hollow out the insides of the tomatoes.
Finishing the Appetizer
- Remove the piping bag from the refrigerator.
- Fill each tomato with the BLT mixture.
- Top with extra chives or finely minced scallions for garnish.
