Mozzarella stuffed cherry tomatoes are a quick and yummy treat to get you thinking ahead to hot summer days and outdoor BBQs.

If you're someone who isn't very recipe-savvy, this one is extremely simple and you'll deceivingly convince your guests that you're a wizard in the kitchen. To make this dish, all you need is as many cherry tomatoes as you'd like and cut them in half. The next step is to remove the juicy insides with a spoon.

Once your tomato has a hollow interior, place a piece of [mozzarella cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-mozzarella-ciliegine) in the centre with some basil. Not only is this appetizer easy to make, your guests will appreciate that you took the time to provide a [healthy option](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/appetizer-recipes).
