Cheese-Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes

Cut a thin slice off the top of each tomato. Scoop out and discard pulp. Invert tomatoes onto paper towels to drain. Combine cheese and onion; spoon into tomatoes.

In a small bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper. Spoon over tomatoes. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to serve.

<p>Huge huge hit. However, cleaning out the tomatoes was very labor intensive. I doubled the recipe and tripled the number of cherry tomatoes. I should have not doubled it. I felt I’d failed until everyone raved about these. Maybe use larger than cherry tomatoes. I have to do something with the rest of the filling, there’s so much of it. Maybe I’ll slice up the rest of the tomatoes and make a salad or spread it on crostini.</p><p>I’m giving it 4 stars because the cherry tomatoes were too labor intensive but the reviews at the table seem to make up for it. </p>

using grape tomatoes made de-pulping easier!

I used this recipe as a guide to make my own version. I'm not fond of feta so I used a Mexican Crumbling Cheese, I ran out of red onion so I used a sweet yellow, and I'm not fond of red wine vinegar so I omitted it. I also used the small vine ripened tomatoes you buy in a container. This variation was perfect for me and my taste. Thank you very much for coming up with this recipe!

For every get together my friends beg me to bring these. Labor intensive but worth it. If you like tomatoes, you and your guests will love these.

I selected this recipe to make for a party this last weekend.  I thought it would be good for anyone who leans toward being vegetarian.  I got more compliments on these than any of the other foods I made - from meat eaters and nons alike.  Looks festive too!

I've made this many time, each time with rave reviews and requests for the recipe.  Its one of my favorite summer potluck recipes.  Its a bit of work to remove the seeds but well worth the effort.
