Cherry tomatoes are filled with a tangy mixture of cream cheese, feta and dill to give this tasty, bite-size appetizer a Greek flair. The cheese mixture also dubs as a hearty spread that pairs well with pita chips.Use a small teaspoon or melon baller to quickly remove the seeds from each tomato cavity. There’s no need to buy a fancy pastry bag to fill the tomatoes—use a zip-close plastic bag instead. Just spoon the filling into the bag, push all of the mixture to one corner, snip off corner with kitchen shears, and pipe evenly into each tomato cavity. These can be made several hours before serving.
