Stuffed Cherry Tomato Appetizers Recipe

To prepare cherry tomatoes: cut a small portion off the bottom of each tomato so they will sit on a tray without rolling. Slice off the top of each tomato and carefully scoop out center seeds and pulp with the small end of melon scoop or sharp knife (I found that a metal serrated grapefruit knife worked the best.) Place each tomato upside down on paper towel to drain. Refrigerate until ready to fill. Using a tiny spoon, fill each tomato with filling of your choice. For the CRAB FILLING, combine all ingredients, using just enough mayonnaise to moisten and hold together. For the CREAM CHEESE FILLING, combine all ingredients and fill the same way. Sprinkle tops with chopped parsley and refrigerate for up to 6 hours before serving. For the BACON FILLING: combine all ingredients and fill the same way. The precooked bacon works great for this - just heat in the microwave until crisp. These appetizers are a little work but they are always a big hit.
