Tomato Goats Cheese Santas

How to Make Tomato Goats Cheese Santas

Method

  1. Whip cream cheese with tablespoon of milk until smooth. Put mixture into snaplock bag. Set aside.
  2. Cut a very thin slice off the bottom of each of the cherry tomatoes, so that you can sit them on a serving plate. Slice them in half, but not cutting all the way through each one.
  3. Remove seeds from each of the cherry tomatoes and gently fill with goats cheese. Ensure a small amount is exposed, so that you can use it to attach the basil.
  4. Cut a small corner of the snaplock bag and pipe a small round ball of cream cheese onto the tops of each tomato, to form the “head”
  5. Attach each of the small basil leaves to the backs of the tomatoes, by pressing into the goats cheese, exposed at the back of the tomatoes.
  6. Place half a grape tomato half on top of the cream cheese “head”, forming the “hat”.
  7. Pipe a tiny dot of cream cheese on top of the “hat” to form  Santa’s  “pom pom”.
  8. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
