Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash the cherry tomatoes and carefully cut off the tops. Using a small spoon or a paring knife, scoop out the seeds and pulp, creating small cavities for the filling. Set the hollowed tomatoes upside down on a paper towel to drain while preparing the filling.
In a small bowl, combine the Danablu cheese, chopped parsley, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the hollowed tomatoes and lightly rub them with your fingers or a brush to coat the exteriors.
Carefully stuff each tomato with the cheese mixture, pressing the filling in gently with the back of a spoon to ensure it stays in place.
Arrange the stuffed tomatoes upright on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the tops.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened slightly and the cheese is bubbling and lightly golden in spots.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Optionally, drizzle with balsamic glaze for an extra layer of flavor before serving warm.
