Directions
Step 1
Wash the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry with a clean paper towel.

Using a sharp knife, slice the tops off the cherry tomatoes and carefully hollow out the insides with a small spoon. Discard the seeds and juice.

Tear the fresh basil leaves into small pieces and press one piece into the top of the cream cheese filling in each tomato for garnish.
Step 6
Drizzle a light layer of olive oil over the filled tomatoes for added flavor.
