Ingredients

¼ cup cream cheese softened
6 basil leaves finely chopped
black pepper
12 cherry tomatoes
3 green onions green "leaves" only

Step-by-Step Instructions

Mix together the softened cream cheese, chopped basil and black pepper in a small bowl, then set aside.
Cut a cross-section at the end of each of the tomatoes using a sharp knife. Make a hole in the opposite end for the "stem".
Carefully spoon the cream cheese mixture into each flower. This can get a little messy, so have some paper towels on hand for cleaning up.
To finish, slice the green "leaves" (or tops) of the green onions lengthways, and poke them into the hole at the base of each tomato.
Carefully lay them on a plate, and use one final piece of green onion leaf to tie a knot around the stems.
