Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 piece garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel.
Slice off the tops of the cherry tomatoes and use a small spoon or melon baller to carefully scoop out the seeds and create a hollow cavity. Be careful not to puncture the sides or bottom. Set the hollowed-out tomatoes aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped basil, chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and evenly incorporated.
Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag with a small round tip (or use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off).
Pipe the herbed cheese mixture into each hollowed-out cherry tomato, filling them generously but neatly.
Arrange the stuffed cherry tomatoes on a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
