Cherry Tomatoes Wrapped In Bacon

Because everything's better with bacon!

Harrison and I had these as an appetizer once at a restaurant, and they were amazing. When you pop the whole thing in your mouth and the tomato just explodes with flavor it's soooo good. We made them at home today for Thanksgiving and they turned out great.

Here's the recipe:


Soak bamboo skewers or toothpicks in a bowl of water for 15 minutes (so they don't burn up in the oven or something).

Cook the bacon up in a frying pan (you might want to cut the pieces of bacon in half if the tomatoes are on the smaller side) until it's no longer raw, but is still pliable.

Take the bacon out of the pan and let it rest until it's cool enough to work with.

Wrap the bacon around the tomatoes, sticking the toothpick through the middle to secure it.

Season with black pepper, freshly ground if you have it.

Place the bacon wrapped tomatoes on a broiling pan and pop them into a 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes, until the bacon is crispy.

Remove and serve!
