Day 24: "Trying Not to scare people away" Appetizer!

March 2, 2011

There is nothing quite so good as amazing food and great friends… and of course Pickles.


Today’s quest was a ‘Wow-Factor’ appetizer which wouldn’t scare people off. Enter Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes! However, as I seem to be scaring a few people off lately… I played it safe and did one pickle piece for me and a tray without the pickles which turned out absolutely brilliant. The pickle piece was incredible though… simply divine!

Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes
 4 oz plain chevre
6 oz cream cheese
3 cloves crushed garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
¼ - ½ cup heavy cream (add until smooth and creamy)
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Salt to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
¼ cup chopped pickles… Optional

2 lbs cherry tomatoes, caps off and seeded

Mix all ingredients together until whipped and creamy. Adjust to taste. Fill gutless tomatoes and pop on the tops. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

deLISH!

...and now I neeed a kitchen for my next project: Sauerkraut Chocolate Cake.
