Pomodorini ripieni di pepper jack e bacon

Ingredienti

• 25 cherry tomatoes (as large as you can find)
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 3/4 - 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
• 2 Tbsp bread crumbs, plain or Italian
• 2 Tbsp olive oil

Preparazione

1. 1

   Preheat the broiler on your over and line a baking pan with foil.

2. 2

   Scoop out the insides of each cherry tomato with a small spoon or pairing knife (if your tomatoes are large enough, a melon scooper will work as well). Lay all tomatoes cut side down onto a paper towel so any remaining liquid or seeds can drain out for about 10-15 minutes.

3. 3

   Stuff each tomato with cheese and bacon, about 2-3 pieces of bacon per tomato and about 1-2 tsp of pepper jack cheese.

4. 4

   Place all tomatoes in the baking dish and drizzle with 2 Tbsp of olive oil. Sprinkle bread crumbs over the top (they will mix with the cheese once broiled, but it gives it a nice flavor).

5. 5

   Broil for 3-4 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

6. 6

   Best when served warm.

7. 7

   Enjoy!
