Here’s an easy appetizer to take to one of those many holiday parties:

BLT Bites

2 dozen cherry tomatoes

1 lb. bacon, cooked and crumbled

1/2 cup mayonaise

1/3 cup green onion, chopped finely

3 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated

3 Tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped finely

Cut a small slice off the top of each tomato.  Scoop out and discard the pulp.  Invert the tomatoes on a paper towel to drain while you make the filling.  In a small bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients and mix well.  Spoon into the tomatoes and refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving.  You can garnish with a sprig of celergy or sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese on top.
