Avocado-Stuffed Tomatoes image

Cute as a button... and tasty too! These are a simple, bite-size appetizer. I like to double the amount of filling to make sure there's plenty for each little 'mater.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

30 cherry tomatoes (about 1-1/4 pints)
2-3 medium avocados, pitted, peeled & cut up
4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 tsp garlic salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp onion, grated or very finely diced

Steps:

  • 1. Cut a thin slice from the top of each tomato so you can scoop out the seeds. (I also cut a very thin slice from the bottom of each tomato so they stand upright.)
  • 2. Using a small melon baller, carefully scoop out the inside of the tomatoes. Turn them upside down on a paper towel lined cookie sheet and let them stand for about 30 minutes to drain. You can either add the pulp into the filling mixture, or, if there are too many seeds, just discard the pulp.
  • 3. Meanwhile prepare the filling...put avocado, cream cheese, garlic salt, pepper and lemon juice in a food processor. Cover and pulse until smooth.
  • 4. Add the grated onion to the mixture and stir to blend. Spoon mixture into a piping bag with a round tip or a ziptop plastic bag (cut a small tip off of the plastic bag AFTER you spoon the mixture into it).
  • 5. Place the tomatoes, open sides up, on your favorite serving platter. Pipe the filling into the tomato 'cups'.
  • 6. Serve immediately or cover loosly and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

This recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not a huge fan of avocado, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. I might make it again sometime.

This recipe is a good starting point, but it's definitely not the best avocado stuffed tomato recipe I've ever had.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but the tomatoes didn't cook evenly. Some of them were still raw in the center.

This recipe has potential, but it needs some tweaking. I'll try it again with some modifications.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the avocado filling turned out brown and slimy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These were way too salty for me. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tomatoes turned out mushy. I think I'll roast them next time instead of baking them.

These were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some diced jalapeno to the avocado filling next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a winner. It's a great way to use up leftover avocados.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add a little bit of diced red onion to the avocado filling for extra flavor.
