Tomato and Cheese Stuffed Bacon-Wrapped Tomatoes

This recipe combines the flavors of juicy tomatoes, creamy cheese, and crispy bacon for a delicious and savory appetizer or side dish.

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Take ripe tomatoes and cut off the tops. Scoop out the insides carefully, creating a hollow cavity.
3. Fill the hollow cavity with your choice of cheese. Mozzarella, cheddar, or feta work well for this recipe.
4. Wrap each tomato with a slice of bacon, making sure to cover the entire tomato.
5. Secure the bacon with toothpicks to prevent them from unraveling during cooking.
6. Place the bacon-wrapped tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese has melted.
8. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
9. You can optionally garnish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley for added flavor.
