Built-in BLTs

16 cherry tomatoes halved
Mayonnaise
1-2 leaves romaine lettuce, torn into small pieces
2-3 slices bacon, crisply cooked and cut into small pieces
Fresh parsley or basil
Scoop out most of the inside of each tomato half. Place a dollop of mayonnaise in each half. Stick a torn piece of lettuce into each. Pop in a piece of bacon. (These will look beautiful.) Arrange on a serving tray and garnish with sprigs of fresh parsley or basil. Done!
Yield: 6-8 servings


I'm not sure from where I cut this. Alas. But yummy sounding. ETA: I thought a small crouton bit might compensate for the lack of bread.

Also I might substitute a little dab of buffalo mozzarella for the the mayo for a variation. I think that would work well with larger sized tomatoes (including your croutons!) as well.

That would work splendidly. I think I'd broil them off if I used the larger tomatoes. Just enough to heat the cheese.
