Cherry Tomatoes Filled with Goat Cheese

You can also use the little, yellow, pear-shaped tomatoes for this recipe, and feel free to use minced tarragon or chervil instead of basil.

Step: 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cheese, basil, salt and pepper. Mix with a fork until well blended.

Step: 2

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.

Step: 3

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.
