Step Four
Mix up the cream cheese filling then add it to the tomatoes. You will need to spread apart the cross you made in the tomatoes to put the mixture into them. Use a damp paper towel to wipe away any excess filling from the outside of the tomatoes.
Step Five
Garnish with chives, basil or parsley. You can add other green leafy pieces like celery, or green onions to create stems on the tomato flowers.
