I love these little bites of yummy flavor, and if you count the number of requests I get from my clients to make them, they must be a hit. I change out the filling now & then, but this is my favorite combination. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. Gather your ingredients.
- 3. Cut a small slice off the top of the tomatoes.
- 4. Scoop out the insides.
- 5. Chef's Note: Coring these small tomatoes is the most difficult part of this recipe. You could use a small spoon, or a grapefruit knife; even a strawberry pitter. Once you find the best tool that works for you, you should be able to power through this process.
- 6. Chef's Note: Save the insides of the cored tomatoes... You will need them in just a bit.
- 7. Sprinkle the inside of the cored tomatoes with a bit of salt, and place upside-down on a paper towel.
- 8. Chef's Note: Let the tomatoes drain for 15 minutes.
- 9. Meanwhile, take the tomato guts, and finely mash.
- 10. In a small bowl add the cream cheese, mashed tomatoes, prosciutto, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper.
- 11. Thoroughly combine the ingredients.
- 12. Add about a teaspoon of the filling to each of the cored tomatoes.
- 13. Chef's Tip: It will be easier to add the filling if you place the ingredients in a small Ziploc bag, and then cut off a tip. Or, you could use a pastry bag with a large tip.
- 14. PLATE/PRESENT
- 15. Serve on a plate as a group, or put them on individual serving spoons. Enjoy.
- 16. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
