Herb Goat Cheese and Tomato Cups

Hi Everyone,

Today I have for you a simple holiday dish that would be perfect for serving at a New Years party.  It’s simple, loaded with flavor and can be made in a matter of minutes and even made in advance.  This is my Herb Goat Cheese and Tomato Cups.

I just think these are the cutest little cups. They are loaded with lots of flavor, very creamy and has a nice little crunch because of the fillo cups. They are just cute on served on a pretty tray.

To make them, I took creamy goat cheese and mixed it with Gourmet Garden Garlic and Herb pastes. Have you used Gourmet Garden? I tried it for the first time a few weeks ago and I never looked back. I love them and they do taste super fresh! If you don’t have Gourmet Garden, pesto sauce would work great in this recipe.

I just love fresh cherry tomatoes, they add the perfect pop!!  However, if you don’t have fresh tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes would also work great! This little appetizer tastes like a creamy pesto sauce. I kind of have a big thing for pesto, I love it! But my Husband is not a fan of pesto. Now that I think about it, he doesn’t like herbs at all, except dill. Me, I love herbs, I think they really bring a dish to life.
