There is
something special about the taste combination of stuffed cherry
tomatoes. These cute little red tomatoes paired with garden fresh basil and a moist
mild smooth textured white Italian cheese such as mozzarella makes
a very tasty appetizer.
This is an easy colorful hors d'oeuvre to put together and enjoyed by
everyone,
if you use cheese made from the milk of a water buffalo rather
than cow's milk,
it will be of a better tasting quality. Just pop one of
these in your mouth!
Make as many as you desire...

Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes
recipe and photograph created by
Peggy Bucholz, www.finedinings.com
Cherry Tomatoes
Salt and pepper, to taste
Mozzarella Cheese
extra-virgin olive oil
Fresh Basil sliced 1/4-inch
Cut and discard a small slice from the bottom of each
cherry tomato so that they will sit
level. Cut the tops off each one and using a melon baller
carefully scoop out the centers making a cup. Sprinkle insides with salt and pepper
then place upside down on paper towels to drain.
Stuff each cherry tomato with a small amount of Mozzarella cheese, drizzle with
extra-virgin olive oil and top each with freshly sliced basil and serve on a platter.
