Cream-cheese-stuffed cherry tomatoes are a simple yet elegant vegetarian appetizer that’s ideal for a spread of snacks or a charcuterie board. They’re so easy to make, and the flavors are simple and sophisticated. The creamy, cheesy filling, with its hint of dill and a touch of crunch from the cucumber, is the perfect complement to the sweet and juicy tomatoes. It’s a delightful make-ahead appetizer that’s sure to please.<\/p>\n
Cut a thin slice off the top of each tomato. Scoop out and discard the pulp, then invert the tomatoes onto paper towels to drain.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth, then stir in the cucumber, onion and dill.<\/p>\n Spoon the filling into the tomatoes. Refrigerate until serving.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Transferring the filling to a piping bag, or a zip-top bag with a corner cut off, will make it easier and faster to stuff the tomatoes.<\/p>\n Store leftover stuffed cherry tomatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. It’s best to serve them within a day or two for optimal flavor and texture.<\/p>\n Yes. You can fill the tomatoes up to a day in advance and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve them.<\/p>\n A tomato stem corer, sometimes called a tomato shark, is a toothy tool designed for removing the stems and seeds from tomatoes with ease. Unless you’re regularly canning tomatoes or cooking big batches of fresh tomatoes down into sauce, this probably isn’t a tool you have on hand. In that case, a small metal measuring spoon or melon baller is the best tool we’ve found to make hollowing out tomatoes into quick work for something like stuffed cherry tomato recipes.<\/p>\n Absolutely. Save the tomato tops and insides in a container and stash them in the freezer. The next time you cook up a batch of chili<\/a> or marinara sauce<\/a>, you can add them.<\/p>\n Sure! You can experiment with other vegetables, like diced bell peppers, shredded carrots or finely chopped spinach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cream-cheese-stuffed cherry tomatoes

This definitely took longer than 25 min to prepare, mostly because scooping out the tomatoes is a tedious task. More skilled cooks are probably much faster than me. Best tip by far was to put the filling into a baggie and snip the corner. I piped-filled all 50 tomatoes in about a minute. The filling is basically a delicious tzatziki.

Your guests will love them! I couldn\u2019t find any cherry tomatoes where I shop so I purchased the brand \u2018one sweet tomato\u2019 . They are smaller than a cherry tomato but much more rounder than a grape or cherub tomato. The rounded shape is what\u2019s needed. So, Here\u2019s a trick to keep them from rolling everywhere- if you flip the tomato over and place the stem hole side of the tomato down on the plate, This seemed to give it more stability. I also used a tomato corer as other reviews for this recipe said it was helpful, and it truly was! I also piped the filling as the other reviews found it helpful, and it was. I filled them all in about 2 min. I made these apps the night before my event and they weren\u2019t soggy.

My thoughts. They are messy to make even piping with a zip lock bag but without that method it would be worse. They are tasty, very tasty and I expect they will disappear. Noticing comments that they don't stand up (and they don't!) I put lettuce on my platter with prosciutto wrapped mozzarella sticks like spokes in a wheel. Then I just laid these down with toothpicks in them for the guests' convenience rather than fight with them to stand up. I will mention that I was forced to use grape tomatoes as it is winter and the cherry tomatoes were tiny and barely red. The grapes were much bigger. Oh! AND I found a tomato corer!! Without it these would not have been worth the work. The corer made that job much quicker and easier. So to sum up, the filling is extremely simple to mix. If you have a strawberry or tomato corer and a zip lock assembling them is easy. And they do taste delicious.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2016-05-18","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"St.PaulMom"},"reviewBody":"I've made these in the past and they are very pretty, light & tasty! A little bit \"putzy\" having to core the insides of the cherry toms, but a quick way to do it is if you use one of those little strawberry coring tools. If you're not sure what that is, it's like a very small (1\/2 tsp. size) spoon with serrated edges that you use to scoop out the stem & core of the strawberries. Works great on the cherry toms. I also make a small slice off the bottom of each tomato so they sit flat on the platter....I also do this with deviled eggs or anything else that might otherwise roll or slide around on your serving platter, esp. if you're traveling somewhere with it! As others suggested, use a baggie or piping tool to fill the tomatoes.
