- 3 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 Tbs. sour cream
- 2 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, about 40, stem ends trimmed

Instructions
- <b>Mix the filling</b>
- In a food processor, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese and sour cream. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides if necessary.
- <b>Stuff the tomatoes</b>
- Using the small end of a melon baller, carefully scoop out the seeds and core from each tomato. Arrange the tomatoes cut side up on a cutting board. Using 2 small spoons, place about 1 tsp. of the goat cheese filling in each tomato, mounding it slightly.
- Transfer the filled tomatoes to a platter, sprinkle with the chives and serve. Makes about 40 stuffed cherry tomatoes.
