These easy bacon cream stuffed tomato tulips are the perfect bouquet to give to Mom this Mother’s Day. Why give her a bouquet of flowers that are only pretty to look at when you can give her this beautiful bouquet that’s delicious too?

Mother’s Day is around the corner. I don’t know about all you other moms out there, but I’m all about gifts I can eat. I’d much rather a box of chocolate than a bouquet of flowers.

Unless, of course, it was this bouquet of Bacon Cream Stuffed Tomato Tulips. To me, this is the best of both worlds: a lovely bouquet of flowers that I can eat. Yes, please.

These bacon cream stuffed tomato tulips are so easy to make and a delicious appetizer for Mother’s Day brunch. A bouquet of these would also make an adorable edible centerpiece for bridal showers and baby showers. Really any occasion that you want to be a little fancy and special.

While these tomato tulips add a bit of fanciness to any occasion, they only look fancy. In actuality, they are very easy to make and require ingredients that you can find easily in almost any grocery store.

To make them, you need cherry or grape tomatoes, cream cheese, bacon bits, mayonnaise, ranch dressing, green onions and a piping bag.

When you make them, you start by mixing together the cream cheese, bacon bits, mayonnaise, and ranch dressing until it is well combined. You can do this by hand, but I don’t have the arm strength of my seasoned ancestors.

I suggest using your hand mixer to whip them together. Also when whipped the cream mixture is lighter & fluffier, making it infinitely more magical Then, you spoon the mixture into a piping bag.

When the bacon cream filling is in the piping bag, you can set it aside and prepare the tomatoes. Then, just make two cuts on the top of each one in an x shape. The cuts should go halfway down the tomato. Then, you just stick a toothpick in the opposite end of the tomato. With the toothpick in place, you can attach the green onion to the bottom of the tomato as the tulip stem. Lastly, you just pipe the filling into each tomato.

Before you know it, you have a lovely and delicious edible bouquet of bacon cream stuffed tomato tulips.

Notes

While I'd normally swear that miracle whip is not the same as, or interchangeable with mayo, in this recipe it actually can be substituted. Unless you're familiar with it, and like it though, I'd stick with mayo.
