I’m always looking for cute recipe ideas, and when I saw these Tomato Cream Cheese Tulips, I thought they were adorable! So for our weekend brunch I decided to make a few. They are so easy to prepare, and I left them in the fridge until we were ready to eat. Now my kids loved the tomato part, but skipped the green onion stem, however my husband devoured the entire tulip. These would make the perfect appetizer for a bridal shower, a birthday, or even all the picnics this summer…enjoy!

Ingredients
- 1 pint grape tomatoes
- 1 package (8oz) cream cheese
- 2 bunches green onion
- 1 large garlic clove
- 10 chives
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- Cut off the roots and ends of the green onion
- Let cream cheese sit out for 1/2 hour to get to room temperature. Then chop chives and garlic together using an electric mixer. Next whip the cream cheese, chives, garlic, and salt until blended evenly. Add lemon juice and blend into mixture.
- Using a skewer, poke a hole in the stem side of each tomato. Keeping the stem side down, make a cross (2 slices) 1/2 way down the tomato using a small spoon (or the tip of an old fruit peeler) scoop out the seeds from the inside of tomato.
- Take a pastry bag and tip, fill the cut side of the tomato with cream cheese, and insert the green onion into the hole at the stem end of the tomato.
