Cooking Instructions

In a medium sized bowl, stir together the Cottage Cheese (1 cup) , Mozzarella Cheese (1/3 cup) , Cream Cheese (2 Tbsp) , Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp) , and Sea Salt (1/8 tsp) .

Fold in Fresh Basil (2 Tbsp) until well combined. Let the mixture rest while preparing the tomatoes.

Slice a VERY thin piece off the bottom of each Cherry Tomatoes (72) so it will sit flat. Slice a thin layer off of the top of each tomato.

Using a tomato scoop or small spoon, carefully scoop out the tomato pulp and seeds. Discard.

Spoon the cheese filling evenly into each prepared tomato.

In a large stainless steel skillet, heat the Balsamic Vinegar (1 cup) to a boil. Reduce heat to low and stir frequently. Simmer until the mixture has thickened to desired consistency, stirring constantly. DO NOT let it burn.

Serve the filled tomatoes on a platter drizzled with the balsamic reduction. Sprinkle the top with Fresh Basil (2 Tbsp) . Enjoy!
