Southern Fresh Tomato Bites: Directions
-
Wash the tomatoes well and dry them. Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds. If they are very juicy, gently pat slices with a paper towel so crackers stay crisp.
-
Put a little bit of soft cream cheese on top of each cracker using a small spoon.
-
Put one tomato slice on top of the cream cheese on each cracker. Press very gently so the tomato stays in place.
-
Arrange the tomato bites on a plate and serve right away for the best crunch.
Variations & Tips
-
Use the best tomatoes you can find; ripe summer tomatoes taste the best.
-
Keep crackers crisp by assembling just before serving. If you want to save time, slice tomatoes and soften cream cheese ahead, then build bites right before guests arrive.
-
Try flavored cream cheese like chive or garden vegetable for extra taste without extra work.
-
For a party, set crackers, cream cheese, and tomato slices in a row so people can build their own bites quickly.
