Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes image

I adapted this tomato appetizer from a stuffed mushroom recipe that I've used for years. The tasty little treats always win compliments-they're perfect at parties or for potlucks and salad luncheons. Best of all, although it looks as if you slaved over them for hours, they are really very easy to prepare! -Donna Smith, Grey Cliff, Montana
