Tomato Tulips
Ingredients
TOMATO TULIPS:
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
FILLING:
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened, or creamy goat cheese or Kite Hill cream cheese for dairy free
- 1 tablespoon green onions finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Basil Leaves finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon Redmond Real salt
ASSEMBLY:
- 3 green onions root ends trimmed, for assembly
Instructions
- Trim the stem end off each tomato with a sharp knife. Then slice each tomato from the top to about three-quarters of the way down (don’t cut all the way through or it won’t stay together as a flower).
- Turn the tomato and slice it again about three-quarters of the way down so you have four quartered cuts in each tomato. Remove the guts of the tomatoes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ingredients for the filling. Stir together until well blended.
- Place the filling in a piping bag or plastic bag with a small hole cut in one corner. Squeeze the filling into each tomato shell.
- To assemble: Place the trimmed green onions on a serving platter in a fan shape. Place the filled tomatoes at the top part of the green onions to resemble an arrangement of tulips. Enjoy!
