Hallowed our cherry tomatoes that are filled with guacamole and topped with bacon pieces.
These little cherry tomatoes filled with creamy goodness and topped with crisp bacon are a little time consuming to make, but oh my goodness are these hors d’oeuvres worth it! I love having something small out to nibble on before dinner is served. This hors d’oeuvre is light, it won’t ruin the appetite at all, and it’s filled with wonderful flavor.
INGREDIENTS:
One bunch of cherry tomatoes
Worcestershire – 1 teaspoon
Sour cream – 3 teaspoons
Tabasco – 2 shakes
Garlic – 2 cloves or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt – 1 teaspoon
Pepper – 2 teaspoons
Avocados fresh, two or pre-made if you can’t get fresh
Bacon, one pound cut up and fried
Cilantro – chopped and sprinkle on top
DIRECTIONS:
Super simple…fry up the bacon and drain on a paper towel to absorb all the excess grease. Cut the tomatoes in half and scoop out the inside. Turn them upside down on a paper towel to drain any moisture. Fill with either home made guacamole of pre-made. Top with bacon bits.
Cut the tomatoes in half
I really like cherry tomatoes better, but this is what I had
so this is what I used
Scoop out the middle by using a spoon.
Turn them upside down on a paper towel to drain
Just to show you there really isn’t much inside each little tomato that you end up throwing away
I usually make my own guacamole myself but you have to be able to get nice ripe avocados…and I couldn’t, so this is great in a pinch.
I found this in the dairy section and for a ready made guacamole…it was good.
There are certain times when I am all about quick and easy..this time every single avocado I had in the house was as hard as a rock…so I had no choice.
As a rule homemade is usually better…but in a pinch this will certainly do.
Chopped bacon is cooked and draining on a paper towel
Place the avocado into the tomato
Top each one with bacon
And serve…kind of like a little tiny BLT without the lettuce in one bite
It is really, really good!
The avocado can be put into the tomato with a spoon, or fill a baggie with the mixture and cut a small
opening at the bottom and squirt into each one.
Top with bacon and cilantro.
