Steps:
- Place the bacon in a small skillet; heat over medium heat until beginning to sizzle. Reduce the heat to medium low; cook until crisp and golden brown, about 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the fat in the pan.
- Add the breadcrumbs to the hot bacon fat; cook, stirring often, until lightly toasted and crunchy, about 3 minutes. Remove the breadcrumbs to a separate paper towel-lined plate, spread evenly, and then sprinkle with the Parmesan to melt slightly.
- With a rubber spatula, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice and salt in a bowl. Add the shredded romaine; toss well to coat.
- Cut a small amount off the bottom of each tomato to create a flat surface to sit on. Then cut off the tops as well. Run a small knife around the inside of the tomatoes to loosen the flesh. Using a 1/2-teaspoon measuring spoon, scoop out and discard the insides of each tomato.
- Divide the bacon among the tomatoes, pushing it down slightly. Top with some of the romaine, followed by the bacon-parmesan breadcrumbs. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: Ripe tomatoes have a sweeter, more flavorful taste that will shine through in the dish.
- Choose a good quality bacon: The better the quality of the bacon, the better the flavor of the dish will be. Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good amount of marbling.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the bacon, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the bacon from cooking evenly and will result in soggy bacon.
- Use a sharp knife: When cutting the tomatoes and bacon, make sure to use a sharp knife. This will help to ensure that the tomatoes and bacon are cut evenly and will make for a more visually appealing dish.
- Serve immediately: Bacon and tomato bites are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the bacon is crispy and the tomatoes are still warm and juicy.
