    Recipe



    Cut off about a 1/8" slice from the top of a cherry tomato. Using a small knife
    or whatever implement you feel comfortable with, scoop out the seeds and the
    insides of the tomatoes and turn the empty ones upside down on a few sheets of
    paper toweling to drain. Break the bacon into thin strips about 1/4" thick x
    about 1-1/4" long. Cut the lettuce into thin strips. Cut the toast into 4
    squares, removing the crust. Using a 2/3 round cookie cutter of just cut it
    freehand, make an approximate 2/3" hole in the center of each square. This is
    going to hold the cherry tomato. ASSEMBLY Insert a few shreds of the lettuce
    into the empty tomato shell, allowing them to stick out of the top, about 1/2".
    Next add a small dollop of mayonnaise, either through a pastry bag or with a
    very small spoon. Finally put 3 or 4 pieces of bacon into the tomato. The bacon
    should stick out of the tomato as well. The opening of the tomato should be
    fairly filled with the lettuce and bacon. The mayonnaise should be on the
    bottom of the inside of the tomato and not really seen. Place each filled cherry
    tomato onto one of the 'holy' toasts. I like to serve these on a platter that's
    filled with curly parsley and nestle them amongst the parsley. It makes a nice
    presentation. I make homemade mayonnaise, but if you aren't so inclined, a
    prepared mayonnaise, like Hellmann's or Best Foods, will be just fine. Enjoy!
