Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lay bacon slices evenly spaced on lined sheet tray. Pre-cook the bacon by baking for about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Fill each Campari Tomato with about 1 Tbsp. of the herbed ricotta filling then wrap with a piece of the bacon, securing with a toothpick. Place stuffed and wrapped Campari Tomatoes on the lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until bacon is crispy. Allow to cool slightly then serve warm.
