Cherry Tomatoes filled with Goat Cheese

This is a tasty and colourful little appetizer. Great for outdoor gatherings.  Serves 4.

Ingredients:
24 cherry tomatoes (or plum)
1/4 pound fresh goat cheese
1/4 cup minced fresh basil (or tarrogon)
1/2 tsp, salt
1/2 tsp. ground pepper

~ Cut the top off each cherry tomato. Using a small spoon, scoop out the pulp to make a hollow yet sturdy shell. Drain off any juice that accumulates in the shells.
In a bowl, combine the cheese, basil, salt and pepper. Mix with a fork until well blended.
Using the small spoon, fill each tomato with about 1 tsp. of the cheese mixture. Arrange the filled tomatoes on a platter to serve.
