Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes
Fresh and juicy cherry tomatoes hollowed and filled with a smooth cream cheese and herb mixture. These bite sized appetizers are creamy, tangy, and perfect for parties, gatherings, or light snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 large cherry tomatoes
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Slice the tops off the cherry tomatoes and carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp using a small spoon. Pat the insides dry with paper towel.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, parsley, green onions, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture into each hollowed tomato until slightly mounded on top.
- Arrange the filled tomatoes on a platter.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to firm up.
- Garnish with a small sprinkle of chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use firm cherry tomatoes so they hold their shape.
- Dry the inside of the tomatoes well to prevent watery filling.
- Extra filling can be used as a spread for crackers or toast.
