I made these little guys as an appetizer for Sunday dinner, which I will post later this week. They're filled with egg salad which I plan to modify quite a bit, but you can use this as a blank canvas & fill them with anything you'd like. They look so cute, Tristan said "Mommy, are these for dessert?"
Slice off the tops of large cherry tomatoes, making sure the other side sits upright. Take a 1/3 teaspoon measurer to scoop out the meat & seeds. Place upside down to drain well. Meanwhile, assemble your favorite mixture. One hour before serving, fill the tomatoes using the same 1/3 tsp measurer & garnish with (2) fresh chives, 2 inches long. Use the thinnest end of the chives for your garnish.
For my filling, I mixed 4 hard boiled eggs with a little mayo, dijon mustard, chopped fresh chives & a bit of curry powder. I wasn't a fan enough to pass on this version to you so find what you like & get to stuffin'. I bet chicken salad would be nice too.

I don't know about curry powder, but I always like to put cayenne (spelling??) pepper into my egg salad - gives it a kick!
I love to put a little bit of ginger powder in my Salad...I know it sounds YUCK but I do like it lots. OOOO I think I would so stuff these with CHICKEN SALAD...YUMMMMM

I'm in charge of appetizers during family gatherings because everyone knows I will ruin everything else. ha!
I'm not a tomato person, but those look good!
Those are too adorable!
Great idea! They look delicious and I love the chives!
Ok, I am so making these! Talk about adorable girl!

Oh my word - they are the cutest things I have ever seen!!!
I am new to TMTT too! Today was my first time so we are in this virgin voyage together.
That is a really great appetizer!! Thanks for sharing that.
So that is what a little piece of food perfection looks like. Great job! They look too good to eat!
Hey There! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and commenting - It was SO NICE to "meet" you! =-)
Your recipe looks GREAT! Goodness knows I NEED to be doing some dieting. HA!!
Oh, if you took down my sweet potato bread recipe.. I need to share a correction. It needs 2 tsp of CINNAMON! (I don't know HOW I missed that) =-)
Have a GREAT week!
I like the look of this. I might use it at a party that I am having. Awesome!
These looks scrumptious! WE love little tomatoes and these would put them over the top. :D
Have a great day!

I love tomatoes. I love egg salad. Yum. Yum again.
Now those look just plum pretty.
They look beautiful and yummy. Thanks for visiting my blog. I can't wait to try some of your recipes!welcome to TMTT!
I thought these were great. I think I'm going to try them with tuna salad! Looking forward to exchanging recipes. Look for my post on the barefoot contessa :-)
Those are so cute and I bet they taste incredible. Thanks for joining Temp My Tummy today. Great addition. Hope to see you back next week.
Looks totally yummy and cute on top! Adorable little appetizers. I'll have to remember this for my next party.
Oh my, those are adorably cute! If you want a good egg salad recipe, check out the one on my site (I think it's under appetizers, because it was originally a deviled egg recipe, but now I just make egg salad out of it. It's wonderful!)
oh those look so cute. you are just so creative.
OK...these look good. i make a different kind (maybe something to post in a future TMTT?)
Anyway....
Thanks for stopping by "As-for-me-and-my-house." Hope to see you again. stop by on Mondays for Making a Happy Home Monday!
Those are adorable! And the egg salad recipe looks good also. I love egg salad, but I don't like pickles, so a lot of recipes miss the mark for me. I'm always looking for an egg salad recipe that is pickle-free. If you have others that you like better, I hope you will share!
OK, I'm finally here, and boy am I glad I am! These look amazing! What a great idea!
I'm adding you to my Reader. Don't let my anti-Twilight ways fool you. I am actually awesome. ;)
Ok, these look to DIE for! Oh yummy! Thanks for all these recipes! I LOVE your website!!
I love these!!! The chives in the top are great!
In college, I "catered" a party for a friend's art show and I made something like this, but they were stuffed with crumbled bacon mixed with mayo and topped with chopped parsley. They were the hit of the party!
Mmmmmm...I might have to make those again soon.
Egg Salad sounds delicious in the tomatoes also!
