A delightful twist on the classic BLT, these bite-sized tomato cups are perfect for any gathering.
Cut a small slice off the top of each cherry tomato.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and avoid squishing the tomatoes.
Scoop out the pulp from each tomato using a melon baller or small spoon.
Be gentle to avoid tearing the tomato shells.
Place the hollowed tomatoes upside down on paper towels to drain.
Letting the tomatoes drain helps prevent the filling from becoming watery.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, crispy bacon bits, chopped green onions, grated parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Fill each tomato with the prepared mixture using a small spoon.
For a neater presentation, use a piping bag to fill the tomatoes.
Refrigerate the filled tomatoes until ready to serve.
Chilling the tomatoes helps the flavors meld together.
Serve the Mini BLT Tomato Cups on a platter and enjoy.
Garnish with extra parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
