- 30 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 10 grams Fresh basil, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Using a small, sharp knife, slice off the top of each cherry tomato. Carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp with a small spoon or melon baller, leaving the tomato shells intact. Set the hollowed tomatoes aside on a plate.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and chopped basil. Mix well until the filling is smooth and evenly combined.
Step 4
Season the cheese mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as desired.
Step 5
Using a small spoon or a piping bag, carefully fill each hollowed tomato with the cheese mixture. Fill them generously, but avoid overstuffing to prevent spillage.
Step 6
Arrange the stuffed cherry tomatoes on a serving platter. Garnish with additional chopped basil if desired.
Step 7
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy your Cheese Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes!
