Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
Wash the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry with a clean paper towel.
Using a sharp knife, slice the tops off the cherry tomatoes and carefully hollow out the insides with a small spoon. Discard the seeds and juice.
In a small mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag (cut off one corner for piping). Pipe the filling into each hollowed-out cherry tomato.
Tear the fresh basil leaves into small pieces and press one piece into the top of the cream cheese filling in each tomato for garnish.
Drizzle a light layer of olive oil over the filled tomatoes for added flavor.
If desired, drizzle balsamic glaze over the tomatoes for a sweet and tangy finish.
Arrange the filled cherry tomato bites on a serving platter and serve immediately.
