Ingredients:

4 large sweet beefsteak tomatoes
olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh basil, coarse chopped
8 fresh baby mozzarella balls, cut into small pieces
4 strips bacon, diced and crisp fried, drained

Directions:
  1. Wash and cut the tomatoes in half across the 'equator' and carefully cut out the insides, chop up and put in a bowl.
  2. Add to the bowl with the tomato pulp, the kosher salt, black pepper, basil, and mozzarella balls pieces. Mix to combine.
  3. Place each tomato 'bowl' cut side up on a broiler pan and brush lightly with olive oil.
  4. With slotted spoon, fill the bowls with the tomato-basil-mozzarella mixture, making sure you don't get too much tomato juice in the tomato bowl.
  5. Place under preheated broiler at 5" away for about 3 to 4 minutes or until tops brown, tomato softens, and cheese is melted.
  6. Remove and let cool slightly.
  7. Sprinkle crumbled bacon on top and serve warm.
