BLT Bites (+Video)
These BLT Bites are tomatoes stuffed with bacon, lettuce in a creamy filling. It tastes just like your favorite BLT in a delicious, low carb appetizer!
AN EASY TO MAKE (AND EAT!) APPETIZER
The flavor of these Low Carb BLT Bites are really amazing. Such a great new idea for party food. I just love them. The only difficulty I had was getting them all to stay upright and not fall over. I found that if I used a smaller plate, it helped to balance them. I was afraid to cut anything off the bottom of the tomatoes in fear of the filling seeping through the end. But if you use a large enough tomato, you may be able to do that. And the bonus? These are a great appetizer for those of you who prefer to eat low carb!
CAN THIS BE MADE INTO A DIP?
Yes! Instead of stuffing the tomatoes. Try dicing the tomatoes and add them straight into the mixture and serve with your favorite cracker. Also, these are not an appetizer that can be made the evening before. But, I think you could make the filling a day ahead of time. Just be sure that you put the filling in an airtight container with locking lid. This is a great dish to make with a friend! This recipe makes 16. You may want to grab an extra pair of hands to make these and double or even triple the recipe. I think I ate about 8 of these all by myself.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- cherry (cocktail) tomatoes
- bacon
- mayonnaise
- green onions
- romaine lettuce
Cook’s Notes: Be sure to get the larger size cherry tomatoes or you’ll have a very difficult time stuffing these. They are sometimes called cocktail tomatoes. Also, I think regular ole iceberg lettuce would work fine in this recipe. This recipe can easily be doubled.
HOW TO MAKE BLT BITES:
Cut a thin slice off the stem end of each tomato, and scoop out and discard the pulp. Drain the tomatoes, cut side down, on paper towels for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
Stir gently to mix well.
Spoon this mixture evenly into the tomatoes. Refrigerate, covered, for at least one hour, but not overnight. Serve chilled. Serves 4-6.

Hands down, without a doubt, definitely Chicago deep dish pizza!

I think my favorite is the Cornish Pasty. My aunt used to make them a lot. My Uncle was from Michigan where they are very popular.

I moved to Colorado last Fall so I've been enjoying trying new Midwestern foods. We've even been trying some from the Little House Cookbook lately. However, I am from NC and have been aching to find a good Carolina BBQ recipe, my favorite food from "back home"!
I would love to add this cookbook to my cookbook-recipe collection. I love to make our Louisiana seafood and okra gumbo. I will be making the BLT recipe from the site 🙂
Salmon is a big deal here in the Pacific Northwest…and I love it.
My most favorite midwestern and comfort meal is homemade chicken and noodles.
Made this according to your recipe – it is really yummy. I would most definitely double.
I love any type of southern, country cooking!
I've made these before and they are so yummy. I flipped them and sliced on the bottom. The stem side helps them stand and since they're small you really don't taste of feel the stem. Hope that helps.

Oh man those look incredible! I love this recipe, not only would this be a great party snack but I seriously think I could eat them for lunch all by myself… haha!!!
I have made these BLT bites for years. They are always a hit. When I am lazy and want to make them at home for just me and the hubby, we simply chop the tomatoes and add it to the mayo mixture, then serve them with Wheat Thins. YUM!
What a fantastic appetizer! I can't wait to try these. Thank you so much!
YUM! Great idea for appetizers!
This is amazing! What a great idea to have BLT bites like this. I think this would be perfect for a lunch date with the girls…or just a Tuesday haha…YUM
I was at a party where they served the BLT bites & they were delish! I wondered how to make them & now I know. Yay!
These were so good!
The BLT Bites sounds great, might try them for our monthly Blanket Circle tonight at church. Thanks for sharing 🙂
