Mmmm, do you love avocado as much as I do? This is a nice veggie hors d'oeuvre, or you can add a sprinkling of bacon. I've made it with Havarti cheese as well as Swiss. Number of servings depends on people's appetites.

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

Ingredients

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.

Tips:

Choose ripe, firm tomatoes: This will ensure that the tomatoes hold their shape and don't become too mushy when stuffed.
Scoop out the tomato flesh carefully: Use a sharp knife to carefully cut around the core of the tomato, then use a spoon to scoop out the flesh. Be careful not to puncture the tomato skin.
Season the tomato flesh: Before stuffing the tomatoes, season the tomato flesh with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help to enhance the flavor of the tomatoes.
Use a variety of fillings: There are endless possibilities for fillings, so get creative! Some popular options include avocado, tuna, chicken, rice, beans, and cheese.
Bake or chill the tomatoes before serving: Stuffed tomatoes can be served warm or cold. If you're serving them warm, bake them in the oven until they are heated through. If you're serving them cold, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Avocado stuffed tomatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give avocado stuffed tomatoes a try!
