1. Wash the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry. Slice a thin piece off the top of each tomato.

2. Use a small spoon to gently scoop out the seeds and pulp, creating a small cavity.

3. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, mozzarella, basil, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

4. Spoon or pipe the cheese mixture into each hollowed tomato, filling just to the top.

5. Arrange on a serving platter and chill for 10 minutes before serving if desired.

Chilling helps the filling set and makes serving easier.
