Ingredients

  • 30 cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 of a medium avocado  peeled, seeded and chopped
  • 2 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp. basil pesto
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • snipped fresh basil

Instructions

  • Cut a thin slice from the top and bottom of each tomato. Using a knife or small spoon, carefully cut/hollow out tomato guts. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Invert tomatoes onto the towels. Let stand for 30 minutes to drain.
  • Meanwhile, for filling, in a food processor, combine avocado, cream cheese, pesto and lemon juice. Cover and process just until combined.
  • Place tomatoes on a serving platter. Spoon filling into the tomato cups. If desired, cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill for up to 4 hours. If desired, sprinkle with snipped basil before serving.
