Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 10 grams Fresh basil, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a small, sharp knife, slice off the top of each cherry tomato. Carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp with a small spoon or melon baller, leaving the tomato shells intact. Set the hollowed tomatoes aside on a plate.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and chopped basil. Mix well until the filling is smooth and evenly combined.
Season the cheese mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as desired.
Using a small spoon or a piping bag, carefully fill each hollowed tomato with the cheese mixture. Fill them generously, but avoid overstuffing to prevent spillage.
Arrange the stuffed cherry tomatoes on a serving platter. Garnish with additional chopped basil if desired.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy your Cheese Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes!
