For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon with sautéed mushrooms or zucchini. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar. If you don't have croutons on hand, use breadcrumbs or crushed crackers instead. To prevent the tomatoes from becoming too soft, you can pre-bake them for 10 minutes before stuffing.
