Author Notes
I made up these little tomatoes one day to take to a function.
I was going to make then into salad, but they looked so good, I decided to improvise and make them as an appetiser —Lynnellen
Ingredients
-
3
Spring onions chopped fine
-
1/4
bell pepper (any colour)
-
1 splash
gherkin relish - or a couple of gherkins chopped.
-
2 pinches
paprika
-
few sprigs
basil
-
8 ounces
philadelphia cream cheese
-
8 ounces
neufchaetel cheese ( or 2 philadelphia)
Directions
-
Wash tomatoes and slice the tops 3/4 way through so they are still attached.
Scoop out the pulp from the tomatoes, and put aside to a separate bowl.
Drain tomatoes upside down on a paper towel.
-
Beat by hand or with beater the 2 cream cheese. Finely slice the onions, bell pepper, you can add parsley or fresh basil if you would like, add in the gherkin relish or finely sliced gherkins, then add some of the tomato pulp to make a nice consistency. Too much and it will be too wet.
-
Stuff tomatoes with the cream mixture - you can add a small sprig of parsley or basil as decoration.
