Ingredients
- 20 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 piece garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Slice off the tops of the cherry tomatoes and use a small spoon or melon baller to carefully scoop out the seeds and create a hollow cavity. Be careful not to puncture the sides or bottom. Set the hollowed-out tomatoes aside.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped basil, chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and evenly incorporated.
Step 4
Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag with a small round tip (or use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off).
Step 5
Pipe the herbed cheese mixture into each hollowed-out cherry tomato, filling them generously but neatly.
Step 6
Arrange the stuffed cherry tomatoes on a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.
Step 7
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
