Time 15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

¼ pound goat cheese
¼ cup minced fresh basil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
24 cherry tomatoes

Steps:

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cheese, basil, salt and pepper. Mix with a fork until well blended.
  • Cut the top off each cherry tomato. Using a small spoon, carefully scoop out the pulp to make a hollow, yet sturdy, shell. Drain off any juice that may be in the tomato shells.
  • Using a small spoon, scoop about 1 teaspoon of the cheese mixture and carefully stuff into a tomato shell. Repeat until tomatoes or cheese mixture is used up. Arrange the filled tomatoes on a platter to serve.
