Cut each tomato in half and scoop out the seeds using a measuring 1/4 teaspoon. Invert tomatoes on a paper towel to drain. (to get the tomatoes to stay sitting upright, slice a tiny sliver off the bottom to create a flat surface)
Meanwhile combine the crumbled bacon, mayonnaise or vegennaise, green onion, parsley and black pepper in a medium bowl.
Fill each tomato half with the mixture. Refrigerate several hours before serving. |
