Herb, Feta & Sun-dried Tomato Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes

I went outside this morning and discovered I need to harvest some herbs in my vegetable garden; wow…it’s only been just over a month since I planted them and it’s my first harvest of the season.

I decided I needed to make something with these fresh and very fragrant herbs so I came up with this recipe and it’s perfect for a little snack later on with ice t while I enjoy sitting in my garden.

You too can make these delicious Mediterranean inspired stuffed cherry tomatoes and serve them at your cocktail party.

This is the perfect summer snack, taking advantage of all the fresh tomatoes that are at your farmers market or in your garden.  The combination of the strong Feta cheese along with the fresh herbs and sweet sun dried tomatoes make a perfect filling for these beautiful edible rubies of nature.
