How to Make Avocado Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Remove the tops from approximately 1 pint (about 2 cups) of cherry tomatoes and set aside.
  3. Gently scoop out the seeds and pulp from the tomatoes using a small spoon or melon baller and discard.
  4. Place the hollowed tomatoes cut-side down on paper towels to drain for 5 minutes.
  5. In a medium bowl, mash 1 ripe avocado with 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper until smooth and creamy.
  6. Optionally, stir in 2 tablespoons of crumbled Havarti or Swiss cheese.
  7. Optionally, cook 2 slices of bacon until crispy, then crumble and set aside.
  8. Carefully fill each tomato with the avocado mixture.
  9. Arrange the stuffed tomatoes on a baking sheet.
  10. If desired, bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tomatoes are slightly softened and warmed through.
  11. Serve immediately, sprinkled with bacon bits (if using). Enjoy!
