Olive & Goat Cheese Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes
This olive-and-goat-cheese-stuffed cherry tomato recipe makes a great pop-in-your-mouth appetizer. Scooping out the insides to stuff the tomato can be a little tricky without the right tool—a 1/4-teaspoon measuring spoon works very well for the job.
Ingredients:
- 24 cherry tomatoes (about 1 pint)
- 3 ounces goat cheese
- 3 tblspns finely chopped green olives
- 1 tblspns low-fat milk
- 1/8 tblspns freshly ground pepper, plus more for garnish
- 2 tblspns finely chopped fresh oregano
Instructions
Here are your instructions:
Slice about 1/4 inch off the top of each tomato. If necessary, trim a sliver off the bottom so the tomato sits flat. Gently scoop out the seeds with a small spoon or the tip of a small knife.
Mash goat cheese, olives, milk and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl until well combined. Fill each hollowed tomato with a generous 1 teaspoon of the cheese mixture. Sprinkle with oregano and more pepper, if desired.
