Cherry tomatoes are smaller than regular tomato varieties and can range from the size of a grape to a golf ball. The bite-sized tomatoes make an easy snack. Stuffing the tomatoes with a pimento allows you to create flavorful snacks or appetizers. Pimento cheese is a mixture of cheddar cheese, pimentos and mayonnaise combined with other seasonings to suit your taste. The creamy mixture adds zest to the tomatoes and is perfect for tailgates and parties.
Instructions
1. Wash the cherry tomatoes under cool running water to remove the dirt and debris.
2. Pull or cut the stems from the cherry tomatoes. Slice them in half along the width.
3. Scoop out the tomato pulp with a spoon. Place the cherry tomatoes upside down on paper towels to let the excess juices drain.
4. Add 1/2 lb. grated sharp cheddar cheese, 1/2 lb. grated medium cheddar cheese and one 8-oz. jar of pimentos to a bowl. Add 1 cup of mayonnaise and stir to create a pimento cheese mixture.
5. Scoop the pimento cheese into each cherry tomato half. Chill the stuffed tomatoes on a plate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
