Celebrate any special occasion with these adorable Cherry Tomato Appetizers. They are so easy to make. All you need is cherry tomatoes, bocconcini (mini mozzarella balls), sweet fig jam, and cucumber.

Enjoy these stuffed cherry tomatoes for New Year’s Eve, weddings, black tie events, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, dinner parties, and birthdays.

When ready to serve, feel free to top them with olive oil and balsamic glaze. You can even replace the fig jam with fresh basil or pesto for a different bite.
