Directions
Tomato Rounds, I saw a version of this recipe in SL originally This appetizer is super simple, and very impressive I adapted it to a more subtle taste, and to give considerable contrast The original spices took away from the wonderful flavor of ripe roma tomatoes I think the contrast of bright red tomatoes, and white cream cheese is pleasing to the eye; and the contrast in flavors between sweet ripe roma’s, and garlicky cream cheese spread is fun for your mouth Also the contrast in textures works well , I saw a version of this recipe in SL originally This appetizer is super simple, and very impressive I adapted it to a more subtle taste, and to give considerable contrast The original spices took away from the wonderful flavor of ripe roma tomatoes I think the contrast of bright red tomatoes, and white cream cheese is pleasing to the eye; and the contrast in flavors between sweet ripe roma’s, and garlicky cream cheese spread is fun for your mouth Also the contrast in textures works well
