Quick to prepare. I saw it in the Sun Sentinel but it is adapted from Bite Size: Elegant Recipes for Entertaining, Francoise Payard. Ingredients:
20 large cherry tomatoes |
8 ounces goat cheese |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 scallion, white and green parts, thinly sliced, diagonally |
1 tablespoon basil, chiffonade |
1/2 tablespoon tarragon, chopped |
1/2 tablespoon black peppercorns, cracked |
fine sea salt, to taste |
Directions:
1. Cut off top of each tomato with a sharp knife.
2. Using a melon baller, scoop out and discard tomato pulp.
3. In a bowl, whisk goat cheese and olive oil until smooth.
4. Stir in scallions, basil, tarragon and black pepper; season with salt.
5. Place cheese mixture in plastic pastry bag, or resealable plastic bag with a 1/4 inch opening cut in tip or corner.
6. You can prepare cheese a few hours before your party and keep it refrigerated, but it's.
7. best to place it in a bag and pipe it shortly before serving.
8. Season inside of each tomato with salt.
9. Pipe in enough cheese mixture so that the filling is just coming out of the top.
