Wk 13 – BLT Tomatoes

We love BLT’s and over the years we have seen the traditional BLT done many different ways…  This recipe comes from the September 2010 Food Network magazine and is a healthier alternative to the sandwich that we love so much….

BLT Tomatoes

• 4 Tomatoes
• 4 Bacon slices
• 1 garlic clove
• 1/2 cup chopped lettuce
• 1/2 cup chopped stale bread cubes
• 2 Tbl mayonnaise
• salt and pepper

Preheat the over to 425 degrees.  Hollow out 4 tomatoes.  Season with salt and pepper and invert to drain.  Cook 4 slices of bacon with 1 garlic clove; chop, then toss with 1/2 cup chopped lettuce, 1/2 cup chopped stale bread cubes, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise and salt and pepper.  Stuff into the tomatoes, then brush with the bacon drippings.  Bake for 20-30 minutes.
