Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoons Lemon zest
Instructions
Wash the Roma tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Using a sharp knife, slice the top and bottom off each tomato to create flat edges. Slice each tomato into 3/4-inch thick rings, discarding the cores and seeds.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, parsley, chives, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon zest. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round or star tip. Alternatively, you can use a zip-top bag with a small corner cut off.
Lay the tomato rings flat on a serving platter or tray. Pipe the cream cheese mixture into the center of each tomato ring, filling them generously.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley or chives, if desired.
Refrigerate the stuffed tomato rings for 10-15 minutes to allow the filling to firm up slightly before serving.
Serve chilled as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
