Preparation method
Prep: 15 mins1.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cheese, basil, salt and pepper. Mix with a fork until well blended.
2.
Halve 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.
3.
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 serving platter.

Worked well for all ages. Use a melon baller to scoop out tomatoes - makes life so much easier.

Used different ingredients.
YUM!! This was the best. I wanted to note a cool modification on this recipe. One of my flatmates is lactose intolerant (so obviously, he can't have cheese). I bought some tofu and substituted it for the goat cheese in his "stuffed tomatoes". I was a little worried how it would turn out, in fact I told him that if it was "gross" that he didn't have to eat it. I stuffed one tomato for him and had him try it, and he thought it was GREAT. The only change he would make is that next time I should buy the "extra firm" tofu instead of the "firm" tofu. So I was pleasantly surprised that the substitution worked. Thanks for a great recipe. It was easier than I thought it would be!

I thought this was a great recipe! Well worth the time of hollowing out all those cherry tomatoes (I doubled the recipe). I used it for my boyfriend's art opening and people loved them! I did not use any salt and it was a good thing I did. It would have been way too salty otherwise. I also used a combination of feta and crumbled blue cheese for added flavour.

I really enjoyed these. Made them for a party and they were a big hit. I used a serrated grapefruit spoon to do the tomatoes, which worked well.

This ROCKS! These disappear so fast! We have a bumper crop of cherry tomatoes this year, so everyone gets to try these!
