Cherry Tomato Bites

"This is a recipe of my own invention. These little bites make a nice summer appetizer when tomatoes are at their peak. Yield is an estimate as it all depends on the size of your tomatoes. :)"

directions

  • In a small bowl, combine the cheeses, garlic, seasoning, chives, and milk.
  • Slice 1/4 inch off the bottom of each tomato, reserving the bottoms. (The stem side should be flat enough for them to stand upright. If not, slice a tiny bit off so they will stand up before moving on to the next step.).
  • Remove as much of the seeds and pulp from the tomatoes as you can.
  • Fill each tomato with about 1 tsp cheese filling per tomato. Top with reserved bottoms.
  • Place on a tray, stem side down and serve at once, or refrigerate, covered, up to 2 hours (let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving).

  1. These were such a nice little treat. I enjoyed the combination of cheeses and seasonings with the tomatoes. My finished tomatoes (they were a little too ripe) were in no way as attractive as those in Andi's photo, but they tasted great.
     
  2. Well you have a winner with this one! We loved it! I am so glad I have a bunch of tomatoes in the greenhouse, these make a delightful appy or just a great snack to pop into your mouth. So easy to put together too. I had a bunch La Roma's growing, so wanted to use them, I did substitute garlic herb soft cheese for chevre cheese, and used regular feta. I also just added a bit of fresh basil, just because I had that too. Thank you so much, flower~this was a real find.

I have a degree in archaeology from a small Ohio college and I work for the Ohio History Connection. My passions are art, music, books, food, history, and cats/animal welfare. I also love photography. I have a 1,000 (plus) piece collection of vintage flower pins from the 1960's, hence the username ha. I also have small collections of vintage butterfly pins, vintage tablecloths, and vintage glass Christmas ornaments. (Can you tell I love vintage?) I took a trip to the Netherlands in March 2006 and fell in love! I doubt it will happen but if I ever have the opportunity I would love to live there.
