These Herb Cream Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes are perfect for the long lazy days of summer. Cherry tomatoes are that their peak of flavor and the timing could not be better. Tomatoes are definitely good for you. They have an impressive amount of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as significant amounts of vitamin B6, folate, and thiamin.
Using large cherry tomatoes and a melon baller makes it easy to hallow them out and prepare them for the cream cheese. The cream cheese takes about five minutes to whip up and by all means if you have fresh herbs in the yard use them. These Herb Cream Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes would go perfect with a light Chenin Blanc or a Sauvignon Blanc. Both are white light crisp wines and two of my favorite kinds.
Sometimes during the blazing hot summer months you just need something cool, juicy and full of natures bounty. This recipe fits that to a tee. Hope you enjoy this mini tantalizing taste bud treats!
