Number Of Ingredients 8

1 container Alouette Garlic and Herb Soft Cheese Spread
30 mini Fillo Shells (they come in packages of 15 and you can find them in the frozen section near desserts)

  • Chop tomatoes up, place in a bowl and add basil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste- stir together and set aside.
  • Grab a plastic baggie and a cup or a bowl. Fit the baggie in to the cup so that you can scoop the garlic and herb cheese into it. Fold up like you would a pastry bag and cut the tip off. This makes it easy and quick to get the cheese into shells.
  • Evenly pipe a small amount of cheese into each shell.
