What is Cheese-stuffed cherry tomatoes?
Cheese-stuffed cherry tomatoes are small tomatoes hollowed out and filled with cheese, sometimes mixed with herbs or seasonings. They are a simple chilled appetiser rather than a dish with one clearly established place of origin, and the filling varies from kitchen to kitchen.
Their juicy, gently sweet bite contrasts with the savoury, creamy centre. They work well on a party platter, as a Mediterranean-style appetiser, or alongside a light lunch; in Turkey, similar bites may also appear at breakfast or as part of a meze spread. The cheese contributes protein and calcium, while the tomatoes provide vitamin C, and the combination is relatively low in carbohydrate. For a lighter filling, use a modest amount of cheese and add fresh herbs.
