If you know me from work, you've had these before. I found this recipe online looking for something different to take to our departmental Christmas party. They went over well, they were gone in less than 5 minutes, all 2 dozen of them. I suppose that means they were well liked!
BLT Bites (from BetterRecipes.com)
12 - 16 cherry tomatoes
5 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 tsp pepper, or to taste
1 cup finely chopped Romaine lettuce
1 green onion, finely chopped
Cut a think slice from the top of each tomato and hollow out the center, so it resembles a cup. Turn upside down and allow to drain on paper towels. Cook, drain and finely chop or crumble the bacon. Mix mayonnaise, basil and pepper together to make an herbed mayonnaise. In each tomato cup, place a small amount of bacon, lettuce and a dab of herbed mayonnaise. Tope with a few pieces of green onion; serve as an appetizer for a light lunch.
