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
Directions
Step 1
Wash the Roma tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Garnish with additional chopped parsley or chives, if desired.
Step 7
Refrigerate the stuffed tomato rings for 10-15 minutes to allow the filling to firm up slightly before serving.
Step 8
Serve chilled as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
